Hi
Thanks for being at HealthcareMagic
According to your complaints you seem to be having telogen effluvium.
It is loss of hair that occurs after any systemic illness and with certain drugs.
It usually takes 4-6 months to settle.
Meanwhile you can take hair supplement tablets containing biotin and other minerals and vitamins.
These tablets need to taken for 3-4 months and will help in settling your hair loss.
