There are many reasons for hairfall or thinning of hair on the scalp. So first and foremost we have to find the cause with the help of detailed history and examination. Some of the common causes are nutritional deficiency, hormonal causes like androgenic alopecia or patterned baldness, hypothyroidism, telogen effluvium etc. Unless we find and treat the cause there is no point in giving non specific treatment. Oils or shampoos do not have any effect on hair growth as they are not absorbed in the skin. Moreover, you should never self treat with anything. Please call me or send photographs using online consult option for proper diagnosis and detailed prescription.

So after any stress on the body meaning a surgery, typhoid, jaundice like a long term illness which take time in recovery leads to a hairfall..that is a process and it takes up to 6 months to recover back.
But as you fully recover after a month treatment for your hairfall can be started.
That depends over examination on the kind of treatment you need. You can consult me online over private chat or visit a dermatologist.
