How much hair can I expect to lose from telogen effluvium?

livvy123
I am a 20yr old female suffering from telogen effluvium. It was caused by a high fever a few months ago. I have already lost around 20% of my hair in the past month, and I am wondering if there is any way to know how much more I am going to lose. Are there any statistics on the normal amount of hair that TE patients lose?
