Loosing hair
I have experienced covid in month of August and on medication during that time. Currently I am on thyroid medication and observed that am loosing lot of hair these days. Is it because of viral fever I had or because of thyroid? I have TSH value 6.44 and using 50mg dosage for thyroid. Please help for getting my hair stronger and healthier.
