Hi XXXXXXX
Thanks for posting your query.
I would congratulate you that you got well from a killer disease.
The hair fall you are having is called Stress alopecia and it typically follows a serious illness. It develops after 6-8weeks following the illness and is of temporary nature.
Some shedding of skin would also be noticeable to you.
You should take a balanced diet with high protein supplement and have enough rest, so that you would recover soon.
You would grow the same healthy hair again very soon.
A general supplement like tab Supradyn once a day for two months would be further helping your recovery. Do not worry about the yellow urine that it would produce.
Hope I have answered your query.
If you have any questions I will be happy to answer.
Please close the query if you have no other questions.
Wish you a good health.
Note: Hope the answers resolves your concerns, however for further guidance of skin related queries consult our Dermatologist.Click here to book a consultation
