nothing. Ill seems to be an older or antiquated term. However, I differentiate in "sick" is short term (like for the day). Ill is longer-term (flu, hospitalized, etc)

Ill is more professional. Sick usually describes a very light illness, while ill can be a matter of life. Sick can also describe people who pick stuff off the ground and eat it, etc...stuff that makes you ill. And, of course, there is the spelling...

Sick is usually used when you are mentally diabled, and ill is for when you have a temporary illness.

If I am ill then I am sick. If I am sick then shoot me.
