My wife got mad when I asked her to make me something simple to eat, is this a potential red flag?

I am 28m married to 27f(my wife) for 11months. This is the first time I have seen her behave like this. I would like to clarify that we didn't have any prior probelms like finance, chores, infidelity or general arguments. I had a pretty bad disease which was there for last 5 days. Basically I have been at home for all 6 days. I had high fever (frequently peaking 103-4) which was recurrent and loose motions. I was taking antibiotics too so I was feeling really weak.

This incident happened from last Tuesday to Today. Both of us have hard jobs and I understand her pain too. After coming home at 6, she scrolled through her phone, arranged some items around house, watched TV, made something for dinner and went to sleep. She didn't even ask me if I was ok or needed some food. (I didn't feel hungry anyway). She didn't even say anything to me and avoided me all night. Next day I was feeling even more ill and still I had to go make my own breakfast in the morning. I didn't do much that day since it was the worst day. Wednesday I was feeling suffocated in my room so I decided to go out even though I was feeling extremely weak, I had to come back within about 10mins either way. I went to sleep, she was working from home. For lunch, I just made a simple request that can you make something extremely simple for me, as I don't think I can eat the normal meal, her response was "order it or call your mother, I have got better things to do, if you have energy to go out you have the energy to clean the floor too and laundry too I suppose". I don't even know why she behaves like that. She gives the impression that it's a burden when I am ill.

I feel extremely hurt and do not feel like to reconcile, probably because we are newly married and we don't have years of memory pulling me behind. So how to proceed? After Wednesday I have been feeling much better although progression is slow. What do I do? I don't know what am I supposed to ask, but literally what is all the things I need to keep in mind and do.
