Growing sick means that your illness or sickness is getting stronger or worse. There is a sense that it is gradually happening instead of occurring all at once. Vomiting might occur, but not necessarily, just depends upon the type of illness. Maybe he comes down with the chills (shaking) or his temperature starts to climb (fever).

@gadgeteer He wasn't actually sick he just felt like he was getting sick. For example if your really nervous your stomach might start feeling bad. Your not actually sick but your body is having a reaction that makes you feel sick. Does that make sense?

In this case “grew” means the same thing as “became”. So it just means that he began feeling/became sick.
