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've been dealing with some leftover issues after my covid recovery about two months ago, and I'm worried. I was diagnosed with Corad 4 lung infection, and at the worst, my severity score was 1425. I'm curious to know how long it usually takes for the green glass opacities and consolidation in the lungs to heal and disappear completely. I generally feel okay, but there are times when I have to breathe with a bit of extra effort, and I occasionally feel a heaviness in my chest. Is this something normal? Also, I'm a bit confused about what breathlessness means in the context of covidis it supposed to be like shortness of breath or more about having difficulty in breathing? Can you give me some clarity on this?

breathlessness means difficulty in breathing. it will take time to resolve the opacities
