Hello it is normal to loose hair after any acute illness like dengue, viral fever, malaria. It starts after 3 months post illness. It will come under control if you follow good nutritious food like pulses, green leafy vegetables, sprouts, beans, nuts. Drink 3 lit of water/day. Oil the scalp 3/week and wash it 3 /week. Normally it settles after 1 month but if it is not then she needs to take certain supplements. Hair analysis and scalp check is very important before prescribing as these kinds of illnesses can trigger hair thinning also. Consult trichologist.
