What is your character like when he's sick? Does he complain and drive other people mad? Does he tough it out and goes until he drops? Who takes care of him, or is there nobody to help? What is his response to this care? Does he feel like being sick or needing help makes him weak or helpless? Does he push back against this perceived weakness? Or does he love the extra attention and special treatment he receives?
Think about the way certain parts of his personality come out when he is sick; parts that he might otherwise try to keep hidden. Explore what his sick behavior reveals about him as a character. How can you use these discoveries in the rest of your story?
