Dreadful Dastardly Diseases, or Always Atrocious Ailments
$begingroup$
So the other day, I was in a pharmacy and I saw that they had a "cold 'n' cough" medicine. The alliteration caught my eye, and I wondered it would be possible to create alliterative names with other ailments. "Fever 'n' flu" was the obvious next choice.
Well, of course there was a puzzle in the making - and here it is:
The Puzzle:
Create as many pairs of alliterative ailments as possible. Each pair is worth one point; if one illness or symptom often occurs simultaneously with its pair, that pair is worth two points. Diseases may not be used more than once in an answer - this is mostly to make things easier for you guys so you don't need to worry about permutations. If the ailment is not recognized by WebMD, it doesn't count.
Example:
Fever & Flu 2 points
Cold & Cough 2 points
Mumps & Measles 1 point
~Total:~ 5 points
Everyone is allowed to use the above pairs, so you basically start with five points.
How many points can you get?
Also,
A bounty will be awarded if your solution is longer than a CVS receipt. I suppose that means I won't be giving out a bounty, but who knows! You guys are pretty clever. Also, potentially "paying it forward" on Avigrail's generous bounty on this question.
For @noedne and whoever the two downvoters were: In defense of this puzzle's puzzly-ness, I submit that finding illnesses that both alliterate and commonly go together is quite the challenge, similar to something like finding anagrams. Both anagrams and this puzzle are perhaps (strictly speaking) more of a search than a puzzle, but anagrams are also quite puzzley, so I would argue in favor of this being a legitimate puzzle.

@North CVS receipts are famously very long. Also, I don't think that this is too broad; it fits the open-ended tag fairly well. If you want, I can find a link to a similar question.

@North I should probably require it to be recognized by some doctors' agency so that we don't have fake diseases pop up.

Not a downvoter, but I'm not sure how puzzly just listing out medical ailments is. Unless the puzzle is trying to guess which ones occur together?

I wish that was funny, but unfortunately colorectal cancer is one of the top five most prevalent cancers in the U.S. and about 200,000 cases are reported per year. About 50,000 people die from it per year. Fortunately, there's a 64% survivle rate! That's also why they stick a camera up your a** at fifty to prevent the cancer.

I wish that was funny, but unfortunately colorectal cancer is one of the top five most prevalent cancers in the U.S. and about 200,000 cases are reported per year. About 50,000 people die from it per year. Fortunately, there's a 64% survivle rate! That's also why they stick a camera up your a** at fifty to prevent the cancer.

Also the constapation comes from the cancer can potentionally literally obstructs the passage of excretion coming out, so it's actually pretty gross :/

Uhhh what do you mean a CVS receipt? Also, wouldn't this potentially be too broad?

@North CVS receipts are famously very long. Also, I don't think that this is too broad; it fits the open-ended tag fairly well. If you want, I can find a link to a similar question.

@North I should probably require it to be recognized by some doctors' agency so that we don't have fake diseases pop up.

Not a downvoter, but I'm not sure how puzzly just listing out medical ailments is. Unless the puzzle is trying to guess which ones occur together?
