Welcome to HCM.
Typhoid is responsible for hair loss in some patients, if is not treated properly in time.
Once it is cured completely than hair loss will stop.
You had typhoid at 14 but there is no relation for hair loss at present.
take proper care of your hair,otherwise consult dermatologist for further medical management.

Hi!sabyasachi,
Welcome To HealthcareMagic forum,
Its not typhoid which causes hair loss,its the state of illness or stress which you had gone through causes hair loss.And this kind of hair loss is seen after about 3 months of getting typhoid.Similar is the case with jaundice or any other chronic illness.This kind of hair loss is known as TELOGEN EFFLUVIUM.
At times when this hair loss is not treated at the right time ,then with age it becomes chronic.As you age your androgens and genes also causes hair loss,which then combines with the telogen effluvium to cause greater degree of hair loss.
Probably in your case your androgens and genes are also playing a role.
Telogen effluvium responds good to treatment.
You should consult a dermatologist at your place for treatment .
Hope this answers your query,if you have any further questions ,kindly write back to us.
regards,
