Help! I got sick and now my hair is oily!?

I started getting sick about 2 weeks ago. Sore throat, achy all over, fever, blisters on hands.....On Oct 28 I noticed my hair roots were very oily & greasy. I switched shampoos, and it still is oily. My doctor diagnosed me with Hand Foot and Mouth Disease on Nov 6. My hair is still extremely oily at the roots, and I was wondering if this is associated with HFMD, or is it totally unrelated??

I'm not sure if its associated with anything, but I thought I'd tell you to try baking soda on your roots. Its supposed to help with oiliness.
