if you have been treated for tuberculosis of hip joint and if there is significant joint destruction, and if the sugery is adviced by an orthopedic specialist, and if it is feasible for your heath, i recommend, the hip replacement may solve your problem to a great extent.in addition, discuss with your do regarding post surgery problems movements and rehabilitation.

a new diet item when added should be added gradually in very small quantity as small as a spoon, in more and increasing frequency, like 1 spoon per hour. well, in weeks there will be acceptance.throat infections make intake of solids uncomfortable. so its prefered to give liquid or semisolid like soups and porridge for temorary phase.give the child some edibles to chew when he is teething.ghee, curds and butter slice may be better options.
