Suggest Remedy For Hair Loss During Recovery Of Dengue Fever

Hello,I am recovering from Dengue fever since May 30th. I had the fever for nine days as high as 104.2 and I was hospitalized for 6 days. My ANC was at it lowest point 450, platelets 80,000, low potassium of 2.0, abnormal liver function, and BP lower than usual but stable throughout at 100/60. Everything has returned to normal but I still have fatigue on most days and find that I have to be careful with activity levels. I started experiencing mild hair loss about a week ago. I am afraid that it will get worse and do not know if anything can be done to prevent this. Please advise. Thank you

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

As per your case history you are having telogen effluvium, my treatment advice is -
1. Take good nutritious diet full of green leafy vegetables and milk.
2. Take an iron supplement and vitamin B12 supplement.
3. Other treatment options are topical Minoxidil and mesotherapy done by a dermato-surgeon.
