Hello,

After typhoid fever, hair loss does occur. To prevent it you should have taken dietary supplements along with nutritious food & maintained the hygiene of our scalp. Hair loss also occurs due to dandruff or any type of fungal infection in the scalp.

You are suggested to visit a dermatologist & get physically examined. In the meantime, use Selsun shampoo (medicated) for hair wash & keep your hair & scalp oiled.

Take food rich in calcium, iron & protein. Take food rich in vitamin A, C, D & E. You can take vitamin supplements along with minerals (zinc & magnesium).

You can use Minoxidil (Rogaine) & rub it into your scalp for hair regrowth. Finasteride (Propecia) is a pill that is effective. Take medications under your local treating doctor.

In the meantime stop addictions if any. Take home made food, stay hydrated.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Nupur K, General & Family Physician
