A member asked:

My hair become very puffy and curly after taking ceftriaxone vaccine to prevent typhoid fever is there any way to get back my straight hair?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Hair stylist helps: Interesting coincidence. A skilled hair stylist can help. One's primary care doctor and also a dermatologist can evaluate to see if there is any medical disorder that is causing changes in the hair. Haven't heard of antibiotics such as cetriaxone curling a person's hair, nor of typhoid vaccine (oral or injected) doing that either.
