Post COVID-19 syndrome is associated with a number of potential conditions. The stress of the illness and a poor diet are two potential causes. Include lean protein sources in a healthy diet. Hormonal changes may be further evaluated.

People shed hair after an acute infection with high fever and it usually happens weeks or months after the illness and it will continue for a couple months. This condition is called telogen effluvium and I have seen a lot in patients with moderate to severe Covid-19 infection. Your hair will regrow very soon, just eat a healthy diet in the meantime.
