I've noticed nail clubbing in all my fingers and toes, but there's no pain, just big clubbed nails. I'm really concerned about it and would like to know how I can treat it. Could you please provide some advice or solutions for this?

Nail clubbing can be a sign of an underlying medical condition. In your case, since you do not have any pain, it is important to determine the root cause of the clubbing. I recommend consulting with a healthcare professional for a thorough evaluation and diagnosis. Treatment will depend on the underlying cause. If it is related to a heart or lung condition, addressing that condition may help improve the nail clubbing. In the meantime, maintaining good overall health and keeping your nails well-trimmed can help manage the symptoms.

I'm a bit worried about my 14-year-old son. His recent CT scan mentioned something about small subsegmental atelectasis in the anterior segment of his right upper lobe. Is this something minor or more serious? Does he need any medication for it? Also, the scan said that the tracheobronchial tree is normal, and there are no signs of Covid pneumonia with a CORADS score of 1. The CT severity score is 0 too. What do you think, should I be concerned?
Pulmonologist opinion is advised to the patient.
