Pick up

Hi, any of you giving me clarification of pick up would be appreicated.

What I wonder is if pick up can be usable for people in terms of '' getting better''.

- Sales picked up in June.

- I picked up from a bad cold. (Does this ok to mean '' feel better''?)

- I pick up today ( Does this make sense to mean '' I feel better'')

thanks
