hair fall after typhoid (any fever) is quite common. this is called as telogen effluvium. usually u wil hav ur hair bak within few months without any treatment. since u r more concerned with ur situation, try using tab. biotin 10mg daily once after ur meal. topical minoxidil 2% solution, 1ml twice daily
but b patient....ur hair growth is a slow process!!!
