Depends on the sickness. As a general rule no, especially if you have a fever. However, if you have a cold, sometimes raising your body temperature and breathing moist air is good for you. However, do not stay more than 15 minutes in the water.

Getting into the jacuzzi can be relaxing and even help to alleviate some cold symptoms like trouble breathing from chest congestion, however, fevers need to be cooled, not heated. Its the same with covering up with a ton of blankets when you have a fever, it can help to soothe you because you FEEL cold, but if you have a serious fever, its better to try to cool yourself off.

If you keep your personal Jacuzzi whirlpool tub clean and sanitized properly with the recommended chemicals before and after use, then you should be able to use it and it will likely help your achy muscles from the flu, help the stuffy nose with the humidified air and help you relax. However if you have a fever, then you should not use it hot or it could add to your discomfort or fever from the higher temperature. Keep the water warm but not hot. Avoid using it if you have a fever over 101 and check your temperature before and after using it. Do not share the tub with others when you are using it to avoid passing the virus to them. Do not go out in public for any reasons when you have the flu, and stay six feet away from others as well, so you do not pass the flu to them.

Hot tubs are not recommended when you are ill, especially with a fever-producing disease such as the flu since they are too hot and you do not want to share a hot tub with anyone when you are ill.
