Is she losing weight? Does she have a healthy diet?
Why don't you ask doctor what they suggest to test for?

Happened to my daughter dr said covid. People like to blame everything on that. I insisted she do blood work she was deficient in D and b12 both can result in hair loss. Gave her vitamins and hair stopped falling out

Full thyroid panel

Nutrient levels don't test well but I would just supplement magnesium, zinc, trace minerals, b vitamins and cod liver oil
