General & Family Physician 's  Response
thank you for posting your query in healthcaremagic.com....

well it is probably due to some poor health following her suffering from dengue...it can sometimes happen....but dont worry...generally nothing needs to be done...
just give her
healthy diet
proper rest
preferably biotin tablets or some multivitamin tablets once daily for 30 days
maintain hygiene and cleanliness

that should be sufficient....
if the hair fall continues even after this, visit a dermatologist to rule out other causes of hair loss.....

hope this was helpful....
contact me for any further queries....

regards
I find this answer helpful
