  5. Hi doctor, I had dengue fever about two months ago, and for the past 20 days, Ive been dealing with severe hair fall. When I wash my hair, it feels like Im losing over 300 strands, and even if I just gently touch my head, a lot of hair comes out, maybe around 100 strands at a time. Is this normal after dengue? Will my hair grow back eventually, or do I need any treatment for this?
