Lots of hairfall
Hello Doctor,
i was diagnosed with anal fistula and did laser surgery for that 20 days back. Following to the surgery, i took linezolid antibiotics (lizoforce 600) and pain killers for some days. Also, i was taking pantocid 40 regularly. Now, i have stopped the medications and am experiencing lots of hairfall daily basis mostly from the top of head. whenever, i make my hair wet, i see lots of hair coming out in my hand and if i assume, it will be more than 30-40 hairs in wet condition. Is this the side-effects of antibiotics and pain killer or Proton pump inhibitor medicine that i was taking on daily basis ? I am worried much to see such hairfall. Should i take vitamins for that or will it resolve on it's own ?
please advice me. Thank you.

Hello dear. Such hairfall is transient and will resolve on its own. However, for a quicker recovery you can take certain hair supplements, both orally and topical.
