"...(sick) in bed" means in your own bed. "In hospital" is enough to tell me you are probably sick, or at least need some medical treatment. "He's in hospital."

If someone has entered the hospital, we know it's serious, so there is no need to explain further. If someone is at home, we might say "sick in bed" to state the severity.
