Hi. Hair fall if more then a 100 requires a proper history. Recent stress, infections like malaria or typhoid, febrile states and prolonged illnesses, crash dieting, any other use of various medicines etc can contribute to hair fall. Eat a balanced diet with more emphasis on dietary proteins like milk, curd, lentils, egg white, soya bean, sprouts etc. Ideally intake of a tablet which has essential nutrients for hair should be taken for a period of up to 6 months. Check the serum
ferritin and
vitamin d3 levels along with serum
TSH for
thyroid. Etc.
