Hello,
Thanks for trusting Healthcaremagic!
I have gone through your query and I can understand your concerns.
Hair fall is common after an episode of diseases like chicken poxx and hepatitis, it is called telogen effluvium.
No need to worry as it will revert soon.
As of now, take adequate bed rest and drink plenty of water. have diet rich in fruits and vegetables.
Thanks
