I think the first thing you should check is whether you’ve got a recent backup of your database. If you do, restoring from that would be the quickest and safest fix.

DBCC CHECKDB ('YourDatabaseName') WITH NO_INFOMSGS, ALL_ERRORMSGS

It’ll tell you if there’s any corruption. If it finds issues, you can attempt to fix them using:

DBCC CHECKDB ('YourDatabaseName', REPAIR_ALLOW_DATA_LOSS)

But a heads-up — this might lead to some data loss, so make sure to take a backup of your current MDF and LDF files before running it.

If that doesn’t do the trick, or if you are worried about losing data, you might want to try a repair tool. I have used Stellar Repair for MS SQL in the past. It is pretty reliable and can recover tables, views, stored procedures, and other stuff from corrupted MDF/NDF files without losing data.

Hope this helps!
