Hello Dr...I am having severe hairfall from last 2 weeks. They are just coming out without touching. I am really worried. My age is 28 and height is 5'2. 4 months back (in March) I returned from Sweden. I was there for 4 months ( do not know if this is change in residence but why after 3-4 months it started). I suffered from viral fever 2 months back.

Hi and welcome to HCM
It sounds as if you are experiencing hair fall called telogen effluvium. It seems your change of residence as well as the viral fever has affected your hair leading to severe hairfall. Also consider whether you are suffering from any other illnesses or new medication you started. Any hormonal, menstrual, thyroid problems?
It will take a while for your hair cycle to restore to normal. To help , you can start on Follihair or Biotee capsules 1-2 a day for at least 2-3 months along with a healthy diet. Eat well, no crash diets. Avoid stress and get rest.
Wash your hair regularly and use a shampoo such as Renocia or anaphase.
At night you can apply tressgro or keratex/recute hair solution to the scalp.
If this does not help check your levels of hemoglobin, Iron , TSH
Keep in mind that it will take 1-2 months to see results. Also avoid any hair coloring/ straightening etc.
Hope this helps.
