Dr. I lost so many hair after typhoid.. now my hair have become thin and dry. My hair were very soft and silky. But now i can see that i have very less hair on my head. I have lost around 30-40% of my hair. Please help me out and tell me whether hair lost due to typhoid will regrow or not?
Welcome to Healthcaremagic! I have noted your details and concerns and hope that following measures will prove very useful to you as most of the patients that I see with similar complaints:
Your problem seems to be a condition called Telogen Effluvium which is a diffuse thinning and reduced density of hairs sometimes after a fever or other illnesses.
These hairs generally revert to normal as the time elapses.
several patients have reported hastened recovery after taking Biotin 10 mg daily.
In your case, I would additionally recommend that take good care of your hairs by frequent brushing, avoiding vigorous massage, occasional shampooing, and having a right mixture of dietary products.
I am sure you will get relieved soon from the condition.
Best wishes
