Well typhoid is bacterial infection caused by salmonella typhi'or paratyphi.doctor rescribed antibiotic like ofloxacin 200 mg bdpc 14days'
It is said that whn there is infecton. Like typhoid or any other chronic infection growm hair ad nail or tooth is hampered'
Typhoid toxin can affect almost any part of the body.
But corelation between excessive hair fall and typhoid is very difficult .
Maon cause of hair loss is fungal infection like seborrhoric dermatitis wht well dandruf.or iron defficiency.chemotherapy.
Well I do not know with which antibiotic u were treated' if it was chloamphenicol what previously drug of choice for enteric nw has been case selective due to its toxicity mainly apastic anaemia' might cause hair loss'
My suggestion use a good ketoconazole shampoo,take neutritious diet with vit and iron 'sleep well will solve your problm'
