TLDR Homeopathy helped a 12-year-old girl regrow hair after typhoid.

A 12-year-old girl experienced telogen effluvium after typhoid fever, which was successfully treated with the homeopathic remedy Thallium Metallicum 30C over one month, leading to complete hair regrowth and no recurrence of bald patches.
