Drastic hair fall

Question

Drastic hair fall

Asked for Female, 28 Years

I had dengue in October first week and after 3 weeks of recovery I noticed drastic hair fall. I struggled with hair fall and thin hair since teenage but the current state of hair fall is almost 5x the usual one. I have also started using onion oil in September and it showed visible results but in the current hair fall scenario I am not sure if its because of the oil or side effects of dengue treatment. Visible scalp, hair fall, and hair thinning is bothering me. Please help!!
