Hello , the best treatment for allergy is to stay away from the substance that causes you allergy. If your sister is allergic to cobalt, the best way out will be to stay away from cobalt. But still in order to protect from unknown or sudden contact with the allergen, she can take tab allegra 120 mg one tablet in the morning. This tablet is very safe and can even be taken for a long time.

Chemotherapy is the treatment of choice. If there is good response to chemotherapy and there is limited local and regional disease after chemotherapy then reirradation should be considered.

Silica gel is non-toxic but it is a choking hazard for young children. However, in some rare instances, manufacturers coat silica gel in cobalt chloride, a toxic compound. Eating cobalt chloride-coated silica gel will likely cause nausea and vomiting

Revision TKA implants are costly but the government has recently capped Knee implants prices. Which is good for patients. There are 3 categories, lowest is 55000 plus taxes and highest being around 1.1 Lacs, so the price of your revision implants should be within this. Go for a Foreign knee like Depuy, Zimmer or Smith and nephew, the implants are mostly cobalt chromium.
