Brief Answer:
Minoxidil

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for the query.
Acute stress on body such as illness can cause hair fall which gradually gets controlled.
You can use minoxidil 5 % lotion twice daily for application over scalp and take tablet Biotin 10 mg daily in night for 6 months.
This will help in improving the texture and thickness of hair.
This should help you.
Let me know if you have any other doubts.
Thank you.
