Hi Dear,
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of hair fall after typhoid fever which is known as alopecia which could occurs due to many reason such as nutritional deficiencies, fungal infection and systemic diseases.
Need not to worry. You should use olive oil for massage to moisturize scalp. You should take plenty of fluids and diet rich in multivitamins. I would suggest you to consult dermatologist for proper examination. Doctor may order skin patch test , blood test and physical examination. Doctor may prescribe you antifungal treatment along with minoxidil spray.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
