Hi Shivangi,
From the description you have given, it seems you are having telogen effluvium. It usually occurs due to chronic prolonged illness, stress, nutritional causes.
So treat the same take diet rich in proteins, nuts, wheat germ, yogurt, fish, liver, etc to gain adequate amount of protein and hair growth promoting vitamins and minerals. You can also start taking hair supplements available in market containing biotin, copper, zinc, selenium etc. Also applying 2 percent minoxidil solution over scalp would help. You need not worry as this type of hair fall is reversible. Take care.
