Osamu has a crazy number of allergies. He's allergic to basically everything that can be airborne. Dust? Yes. Pet hair and dander? Yup. Pollen? Absolutely. It drives Osamu crazy, and Atsumu loves to tease him about his allergies. Osamu has to take lots of allergy medicine, both prescription and over-the-counter. He takes the prescription stuff in the morning and at night and uses the over-the-counter medications as needed in between his prescription doses. The worst part is that Osamu loves animals, but he can't be near them without taking a dose of Benedryl (or else his eyes and throat will swell. It's super uncomfortable, and if the swelling doesn't go down fast enough, Osamu is dragged off to the hospital for more treatment).

Suna gets sick more than he probably should because he doesn't take care of himself. His eating habits are very sporadic. He either doesn't eat, or he consumes everything in his fridge in two hours. Osamu tries to help by bringing food for Suna everyday, but Osamu usually ends up eating it before it gets to Suna because Osamu got hungry waiting for lunch.

Kita is the only one who can get Suna on a regular eating schedule. Kita does this by always having extra food on hand at school and reminding Suna to eat constantly. Suna obeys because he's too scared of Kita not too. Suna even eats normally on weekends because while he's not sure how, he knows Kita will know if Suna doesn't listen to Kita.

Suna gets a mix of respiratory and stomach illnesses. He gets respiratory illnesses more in autumn and winter and stomach illnesses more in spring and summer. Suna's fevers are midrange and don't normally come with any side effects. However, extremely high fevers can give Suna awful migraines and nausea if they aren't lowered fast enough.

Semi is a quiet sickie. He's in denial when he first starts showing symptoms, and he still won't say anything even after he's come to terms with being sick. He hates burdening others, especially his team and family.

This attitude has come back to bite him so many times, though. Semi is infamous for passing out at family gatherings from hiding his illnesses, and it's now an inside joke amongst his family because it's happened so many times. Semi doesn't think it's funny and gets mad whenever his family brings it up because he's not that bad, right? (He is.)

Semi has also been taken to the emergency room straight from volleyball practice a few times. The first time was in elementary school. He had the flu and didn't tell anyone, so he ended up passed out on the gym floor halfway through practice.

The most recent incident for Semi was at the end of his second year of high school. He'd had a cold all week, but since he refused to rest and relax, the cold developed into viral pneumonia. He's had trouble breathing throughout practice but doesn't tell anyone (as per usual). Then Washijou made them do flying falls around the court. Semi goes to do his first one and just... doesn't get back up. No one notices at first until Shirabu quietly asks why his upperclassman is still on his first flying fall. Everyone stops to look at poor Semi, and then it's pure chaos.

Tendou is actually responsible for once and calls an ambulance while the coaches try to assess Semi's condition. They don't know much beyond an extremely high fever and breathing difficulties, but those symptoms and passing out alone warrant a hospital visit, so Semi is sent off in the ambulance as soon as it arrives. The team comes to visit him the next day, and it turns out that Semi's fever had spiked to 104.9 °F (40.5 °C) last night, so he's super out of it on pain killers and fever reducers. Tendou records video of drugged-up Semi to be used as blackmail at a later point (and to serve as proof that Semi is NOT to be responsible for his own health anytime soon).

Konoha gets sick pretty often, but most of the time, it's only a cold or minor illness. But when his illness is bad, it's very bad. Konoha has been hospitalized multiple times because a seemingly mundane illness (flu, stomach virus, etc.) escalated dramatically.

Konoha runs relatively high fevers, and the fevers are often accompanied by vertigo and headaches. Konoha gets a mix of stomach and respiratory ailments, but the ones that tend to get bad for him are the respiratory ailments. Those are the illnesses that lead to bad stuff like pneumonia and septic shock.

Fukurodani knows about some of Konoha's medical history, so they try to help him out when they can. Bokuto and the coach try to send Konoha home whenever they notice he's sick, but Konoha has started hiding his illnesses in retaliation because he hates missing practice. This leads to things like Konoha passing out or getting hurt from fever and exhaustion.

Akaashi and the managers are the ones to help Konoha when this happens. They keep Konoha calm and comfortable with cold compresses and makeshift blankets until help arrives (the coach is the one to determine if that's Konoha's parents or an ambulance).

The worst illness Fukurodani has seen Konoha have was bacterial pneumonia in the middle of his first year. The pneumonia developed from a lingering cough Konoha had after contracting the flu earlier that month. (Konoha fainted during a practice match with Nekoma, so Kuroo, Kai, and Yaku saw what happened too.) The coach and the managers rush over to Konoha and check him over. Konoha has a terrible fever, but the most worrying thing about his condition is that Konoha's barely breathing. The coach immediately calls an ambulance, and Konoha is taken to the hospital as soon as the paramedics arrive.

Yachi takes good care of herself, so she doesn't get sick often. She only gets sick when she's extremely stressed (exams, big games, etc.). Yachi gets mostly fevers and headaches and rarely vomits. She hasn't thrown up since elementary school, so she has a kind of streak going. Since her mother isn't really around much, Yachi learned to take care of herself when sick. This experience makes her a very good caretaker, despite her meek nature.

Kiyoko also doesn't really get sick. Instead, she gets semi-frequent migraines. She carefully manages her migraines with medication and rest, so it's not really a big deal to her anymore. On the off chance that Kiyoko does get sick, she tends to get colds and other respiratory infections. Kiyoko has only gotten sick once in high school. It was in her first year while managing the volleyball club. A flu bug was running rampant in the school and eventually took down the entire volleyball club, including Kiyoko.

Shirofuku gets sick a normal amount. She tends to get stomach ailments, but they never seem to affect her appetite. She's always hungry when she's sick. It doesn't matter how queazy or nauseous she is. Shirofuku will constantly want food, so whoever's taking care of her should always have lots of soup, crackers, rice, or other easily digestible foods on hand. If not, Shirofuku will eat whatever she comes across, no matter how much it might upset her stomach.

Shirabu is a whiny sickie, but that's only after he's caught being sick at practice or at school. Once everyone knows, he sees no point in pretending anymore and goes full-on princess mode. He's sick, so everyone is going to wait on him and listen to him complain, dammit!

Shirabu tries to take care of himself, but he can never get enough sleep because he's busy with his studies. The lack of sleep will eventually lead to him getting sick, but he only gets sick a few times a year, despite this. Shirabu spikes midrange fevers, and his worst symptoms are dizziness and coughing. He gets headaches too, so he has lots of acetaminophen and Excedrin stored in his bathroom and dorm room.
