Can I say "sick leave" like "Yesterday I got really sick, so I took sick leave. Now I feel better, I can go to work today!" Can I say "sick leave" even if I took only one day off?

That works, but I think it would be better to say "I took a sick day" :)

@cocoanna What! "a sick day"? I haven't heard of that before! Wow! What a convenient phrase. I will memorize it! Thank you!

"Leave" usually refers to a longer period of time, like if you have mono, cancer, or any other condition that makes you take two or more weeks off (this isn't a hard number, just a rule of thumb). Like cocoanna said, you usually use something like "sick day" or just, "I took the day off work," for when you have a cold.

@NordicRest I see! Thank you for making the definition of "leave" clear for me! In Japan the flu is going around! Please take care!

Makes perfect sense but the other people are right, "sick day" is more commonly used and a "leave" is usually a longer period of time.
