Hello,
Severe hair fall post typhoid is known as telogen effluvium wherein the hair gets transformed from growing phase (anagen phase) to shedding phase (telogen phase).
This would recover gradually over 4- 6 months. I suggest you take an oral biotin supplement once a day for a few months.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
