I was in the hospital for pneumonia treatment back in September, and now I've been losing a lot of hair from all over my scalp since last month. What could be causing this? Is there a chance my hair will grow back, or am I going to go bald? What kind of treatment should I be looking into?

The significant hair loss you're experiencing, known as telogen effluvium, could be triggered by the physical stress of pneumonia, high fever, or medications used during treatment, and in most cases, hair growth resumes on its own within 3-6 months without treatment
