My 3-year-old son has trouble straightening his left thumb, especially the top portion. He can move it himself, but I noticed something was wrong when he did a thumbs-up sign and the finger wasn’t bending as normal. I can straighten it by massaging it, and sometimes I feel a pop. He hasn’t complained about pain, but there was discomfort when I touched the top portion of his thumb yesterday. What could be the issue, and is there anything I can do to help with the discomfort?

My husband is in stage D heart failure and had a blood clot in his lung last week. He was sent home with blood thinners and is now complaining of headaches and dizziness. Is this an emergency that warrants a visit to the ER, or should I just call his doctor in the morning?
