My child had learned to use the toilet but after being sick started having accidents again. Is this a temporary situation?

Regression in potty training after illness is quite common and usually temporary. When a child's body fights infection, it uses energy elsewhere, plus conditions like diarrhea or constipation directly affect toilet habits. This usually resolves within weeks once the child fully recovers. During this time, don't pressure them — staying calm while cleaning up is most important. If improvement hasn't happened 2-3 weeks after recovery, consult your pediatrician.
