Suggest remedy for hairfall post a typhoid infection
Patient: Hi ,  I had suffered from typhoid symptoms for some 2-3 weeks. Now i have recovered from it. But now i am facing lot of hair fall.  I have lost almost more than half of the hair i had.  i am worried about this. Please suggest if any measures are there. also does the hair grow back  and how much time approx it may take to grow back. Thanks a lot Doctor: hi, thank you for putting up your query on HCM.as per your history, you have telogen effluvium which usually occurs after a illness.-- it is a self limiting disease.-- you need not to worry much, as stress aggravates the hair fall.-- it will take around 3-6 months for disease to cease.--you may take cap zevit once a day.-- adequate dietary intake in the form of fresh fruits and green leafy vegetables and applying hair oil like coconut oil twice a week ill help.-- avoid hair cosmetic products, use herbal shampoos twice a week.-- avoid external trauma to hair in the form of straightening, curling and hair spa.-- topical minoxidil can be tried, but it has to be started only after consulting a dermatologist.wising you good health.thank you
