Here are some books that come to mind instantly: Madeline - Bemelmens (I just read his comment on this book and it turns out that Madeline's experience in the French hospital mirrored his wife's as a child)
Actually the more I think about it, there are like a million. A Bad Case of Stripes and Chocolate Fever are made up illnesses, and there are older readers like Deenie, Bridge to Terabithia, Secret Garden or Fault in Our Stars, and of course broken bones all over. But I can't think of that many kid's picture books about illness that aren't annoying and trying to teach kids a lesson. I kind of remember something by Dr. Suess, Marvin K. Mooney maybe?
