I've been really worried because I had dengue fever about two months ago, and for the past 20 days or so, Ive been experiencing really intense hair fall. Its like, when I wash my hair, I can't even count the number of hairs that fallmaybe around 300? And even when I gently touch my head, it seems like hundreds of hairs come out. Is this normal after having dengue? Do you think my hair will grow back on its own, or should I be thinking about getting some treatment? What's your take on this?
