Dermatologist 's  Response
Hello. Thank you for writing to us at healthcaremagic

I will keep a possibility of telogen effluvium. Telogen is the resting phase of hair growth cycle after which the hair is usually shed.

After any stressful event e.g medical illness like dengue, typhoid etc, scalp hair may get shifted from growth phase (anagen) to resting phase (telogen) which is manifested as increased hair shedding.

Telogen usually begins 1-3 months after a stressful event and can last up to 6 months following which hair follicle re-enters the growing phase (anagen).

I suggest you to maintain a good healthy nutritious diet. You may add a multivitamin supplement to your diet.

Regards
