Hi Suriya,

You seem to have telogen effluvium .you are right...it may be post enteric (typhoid)telogen effluvium.. You may be having some other causes....like anaemia,vitamin and nutritional deficiencies,thyroid dysfunction,stress, anxiety,worries,travelling,any other internal disease,certain drugs...etc. Poor hygiene and poor nutrition may be responsible for telogen effluvium. You consult dermatologist for firm diagnosis.

To controll hair fall and to improve hair growth you may take biotin 10 tab daily for few months and apply mild steroid lotion on scalp at night daily. For hair oiling and shampoo use herbal preparations. Take treatment for few years.

Have patience..for the good result.

I hope this would help you.

Thanks.
