I've been having terrible hair fall ever since I had dengue fever. It's really worrying me, and I don't know what to do to make it stop quickly. Could you please guide me on how to deal with this?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
To help stop hair fall, you can try using Minoxidil solution 5% twice daily on the affected areas of the scalp. Additionally, taking Biotin tablets 10mg once daily can also help in promoting hair growth. Make sure to maintain a healthy diet rich in vitamins and minerals, and avoid excessive stress.
