I am experiencing intense hair fall along with dandruff. I also have a history of Typhoid fever. Could this be related?
Yes, it can be related. After illnesses like Typhoid fever, the body may go through temporary hair shedding (called telogen effluvium), which can cause increased hair fall for a few months. Dandruff can further worsen hair fall by affecting scalp health. Focus on a nutritious diet (protein, iron, vitamins), use an anti-dandruff shampoo like Ketoconazole, and avoid stress and harsh hair treatments. This type of hair fall is usually temporary and improves with time. If hair fall is severe or continues beyond a few months, consult a doctor to check for deficiencies or other causes.
