What/s wrong/What's the matter
Would it be ok to say "What's wrong with you?" when someone is ill? I heard that the best question in this situation would be "What's them matter?" Is that right? I have also heard "What's wrong?" though. Pragmatically speaking, which one is more acceptable in said situation? Please let me know.
