Hi,

As per your query you have symptoms of severe hair loss while treating typhoid and TB which is mainly due to medication side-effects and sensitivity of body due to lowering of the immune system.

Need not to worry. I would suggest you do olive oil massage on the scalp. Maintain hygiene by using shampoo often using Salicylic acid shampoo. Avoid exposure to sunlight. You should cut back on styling products, hair sprays, and styling gels. Eat a healthy diet. Consult a dermatologist for proper examination and treatment. The doctor may prescribe anti-fungal medicine and shampoo for your symptoms. Take a diet rich in biotin, ferritin and Vitamin E.

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

Regards,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari, Dentist
