My son is 4 years 7 months old. 20 kgs in weight, health and active. From past 3-4 days he has started getting hair fall. When he gets up in the morning, there are lot of hair in the pillow. Is it a temporary phase or should I consult a child specialist. Thanks

In my opinion this condition is called as Telogen effluvium .sudden hairfall happen because of sudden or severe stress -- such as extremely post high fever, post surgery, use of certain medication There are no conclusive tests to diagnose telogen effluvium; once the stressful event is over, full hair growth usually returns within six months. But to make sure you have to visit doctor or consult to answer your question I require more detail of his condition thank you.
