Thanks for the query. Few months of hair fall usually relates to an acute cause or sometimes the beginning of a chronic cause. Did you have an illness in preceding few months like a typhoid, malaria or did you undergo a surgery? Are there any acute stressors, any unusual problems? If there are so, you may be having a condition called telogen effluvium, and usually settles in few months time even without any treatment. You should have a healthy diet and good sleep. As per this, you should be having Telogen effluvium and should improve as you stop TB medications.
Next Steps
Start on biotin supplements and food rich in iron content.
