Hi Suhasini,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
Any severe illness can cause hair loss. Stress is one of the main causes of this, and typhoid fever can certainly cause stress.
Most of the times, lost hair would return, but time could vary. It may sometimes take about 3 to 6 months.
Kindly take medications containing Vitamin E, Vitamin C, Selenium and Biotin regularly. Also use shampoo containing Selenium regularly.
You need to eat a healthy diet like plenty of vegetables, fruits and include foods which are rich in omega 3 fatty acids for aiding hair growth. Practice meditation to calm your mind and reduce stress.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
I find this answer helpful
