Hello. Thanks for writing here. The hair fall you are describing here is called Halogen effluvium. It is caused by sudden emotional or physiological stress. Fever you had 2 months back is the stress in your case. Hair cycle includes 3 phases: 1) Ana gen : active growth phase of hair follicles.2) Catalan: end of the active growth of hair follicles3) Halogen: the resting phase of hair follicles. In halogen effluvium there is accelerated shedding of hairs in halogen phase. Telogen effluvium is a reactive process and resolves spontaneously. The main part of treatment is Reassurance. You will get your hair back within 3-6 months though it is difficult to say the exact time. In my opinion you can take tablets containing biotin and zinc. These micro nutrients are essential for hair growth though it is difficult to say how much you will be benefited. You need not worry about this. I hope I have answered your query. Thanks and regards.
