Hi. Thanks for posting your concern at HCM
I would keep a diagnosis of Telogen Effluvium in your case. Telogen is the resting phase of hair cycle. After a major stressing event like medical/surgical illness (typhoid in your case) scalp hair is prematurely pushed into resting phase from the growth phase (Anaphase). This phase usually starts in the third or fourth month after a major stressor and ends by six months. This is a temporary phase.
I would advice to take a good healthy diet. Take a high protein diet because hair is all protein(keratin).
take care
regards
