Knowing how these conditions affect each other can help you get the proper diagnosis and treatment.

Chronic symptoms of sneezing, nasal congestion, and coughing can sometimes lead to aches, particularly in related body areas. Body aches are not a direct result of an allergic reaction, but allergy symptoms like inflammation, coughing, and sinus congestion may lead to body aches.

ozgurcankaya / Getty Images Allergic rhinitis (nasal allergies) occurs when an immune response to an allergen, like pollen, causes inflammation. This can lead to congestion in your sinuses. Because your sinuses are connected to your ears, inflammation can also lead to ear pain. Both seasonal and perennial allergies can cause ear pain. Seasonal allergies usually come and go based on pollen levels. Perennial allergies are more persistent, triggered by allergens such as pet dander or dust.

Tfilm / Getty Images Retronychia is a nail condition that occurs when a nail stops growing outward and instead starts growing back into the nail fold (the skin around the nail). Most common in young adult women, early symptoms include pain, redness, swelling, and changes in nail color. In later stages, new nails can start growing underneath the old nail, resulting in multiple layers of nails pushing against the original.

YorVen / Getty Images Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH) is an advanced form of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD). MASLD occurs when fat builds up in the liver, causing hepatitis (inflammation) and fibrosis (scarring) over time. At that stage, the condition has become MASH. MASH may be reversible in its early stages, but untreated MASH can lead to cirrhosis (permanent liver scarring), liver cancer, and liver failure.
