Hi,

Welcome to HCM...

I can understand your concern for hair loss. Kindly be free of anxiety related to hair loss. You seem to have telogen effluvium. The cause may be enteric fever...typhoid. It very common problem occuring after enteric fever. Please consult dermatologist to have firm diagnosis and perfect treatment.

I would like to suggest as follow..

- biotin 10 mg tab daily
- vitamin E 400 mg cap daily
- if needed iron preparation
- apply mild steroid lotion on the scalp at night
- herbal shampoo and oil
- have patience

I hope this would help you.

Thanks..

Hello and welcome to HCM
Certain illnesses like typhoid can cause weakness and hair fall. it is generally temporary and new hairs will grow back as the body recovers, so don't worry.
You can take a capsule like Biotin 10mg daily for 2 months as a supplement for hair. Also apply Recute hair oil at night to the scalp. Do this regularly, and keep in mind that it will take around a month to see results as your hair fall reduces and new hair grows.
You can also check your hemoglobin, iron levels as low levels can also aggravate the problem.
Keep a nutritious diet, get rest and avoid stress and pollution. Dont use harsh chemicals or styling products on hair. You can use Hair4U shampoo and conditioner as well.
Don't worry, keep these tips in mind and you will see improvement, but be patient.
Hope this helps.
