An alternative may be to call him, if you really want to talk. shh! is right... when people are sick, I tend to keep my distance from them. Of course I want them to get better, and may even give them something to help with it... but I try to come in contact with them as little as possible.

Calling may be better, because then you also sidestep his lack of comfort at your house. Of course, there is time for him to get comfortable... but it may not be a good idea when you are sick.
