Hi you are suffering from acute telogen effluvium. The hair loss is happening because you suffered a massive stress on you body in the form of pneuomonia. Good news is that you will get all your hair back in about 3-6 months. To bring back the hair faster you can see a dermatologist near you who can prescribe you some creams and ointments.
