    Agree with Zander. A bit more to add.... As 毛病 is an informal expression, you cannot use 毛病 with a formal word. For instance, his theory is problematic. People say 他的理论有问题, but not 他的理论有毛病。 When saying health, whether 毛病 can be used depends on particular topics. People say 他身体有毛病，but will not say 他的健康有毛病。他的健康有问题 is more common.

    It's hard to say... I would say it is simply a preference. For instance, it is absolutely fine to use 个 to measure an idea, or a bulb. It is acceptable, but not so good, to use 个 to measure a TV set, a car, a people or a film. Instead, 台，辆，位，部 should be used respectively. Normally, people expect very young children use 个 to measure these objects. And it is unacceptable to use 个 to measure a horse, a fish, a book, or a piece of cloud.

    妈妈怕病 means "Mum is afraid of sickness." But people cannot touch or see sickness. They can only get sickness. Thus, few Chinese people say 妈妈怕病. Instead, they say 妈妈怕得病/妈妈怕生病 which means "Mum is afraid of being sick".
