chronic tonsillitis and hair loss

Hello,

about 2 months ago I was diagnosed with chronic tonsillitis and it was urgent for me to do a surgery. However, due to the tough time we have been having for months it was impossible for me to arrange an appointment with ENT since I was having fever and breath difficulty and that are the main symptoms for Covid-19. So, it took me more than 2 months to finally remove my tonsils. Meanwhile, I noticed that my hair was thinning and I was experiencing some hair loss. I want to know if there is any kind of relationship between this two thing and in case it is if my hair grow back?

Thanks in advance.

Best regards,

Gebriel G
