Question: Why couldn't ET use his magic finger on himself when he was ill?
Answer: The ability is meant to be empathic - he can use his energy to heal other life-forms but must himself heal normally, given sufficient time and hope. Elliot's caring for E.T. helps facilitate his recovery.
Answer: He may have been too weak to do it himself.
