Can mono cause hair loss?

I cant say about the medical reason but in my case my hair fell a lot about two months after my fever. I just focused on resting and taking my vitamins. It took around four months but slowly it stopped and grew back.

It is completely normal to feel freaked out when this happens, trust me. I used to cry looking at my hair in the shower after my recovery. Just remember your body is healing from inside, so try not to stress as stress makes it worse.

Yes, telogen effluvium is very common after severe infections. Don't waste money on expensive shampoos, they wont work. Focus on a high-protein diet, take your doctor-prescribed multivitamins, and avoid styling your hair for a few months.

I totally get it, seeing your hair fall out after being so sick is incredibly stressful. Your body just went through a huge shock with the infection. Just give yourself some time to heal, eating good food helps a lot.

When the body goes through severe infection like mono, stress levels shoot up. I practiced gentle pranayama like Anulom Vilom daily during my recovery to calm my nervous system. It really helped control the hair fall over time.

Oh god, I kept googling this when I had mono because my hairbrush was full of hair. I was so convinced I was going bald permanently but doc said it is just temporary shedding due to physical stress. Hang in there, you are not alone!
