Asked By:HairHelpNeeded in Kansas

Had covid in nov 2022. Started shedding in dec 2022. Slowed down march 2023. Went to doctor in jan 2023 and was told it may be TE and should resolve on its own. Noticed a couple weeks ago that i was shedding thin small strands (1-2 inch long). Shed about 10 short strands and 30-50 regular hairs daily. Is this normal or AGA? No family history of baldness except my dad who has bald spot on top of head. Will the strands grow back? Will they grow back normal thickness?
