Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
This type of sudden precipitous hair fall after an illness is typical of Telogen Effluvium. This happens because large numbers of hair in growth phase get shifted to shedding phase under the stress of illness. Telogen Effluvium usually recovers in a few months (6-12 months) as the hair follicle gets shifted to the growing phase again with removal of the stressing stimulus/illness
