First post here… I made a mistake and would like some suggestion on how to properly fix it.
I wanted to mount window curtain rods with toggle anchors. I drilled 3/8th inch hole through drywall, wall stud and hit concrete. To make it worse, it’s two holes on either side.
How can fix these holes in wall stud? I am worried it will affect something structurally.

With no more specifics than that I would say you should have no concern that one 3/8 inch hole drilled through one stud could present any structural problem. There is so much redundancy in standard stud construction that there is a vanishingly small probability this could have any practical consequence.
If the hole is where you want it and it is not on the edge of the stud, then use the right size of plastic sleeve anchor and screw in this hole to hold the curtain rod. That would be stronger than a toggle bolt into drywall.
