Did the flu ruin my supply?

I was hit with the flu 2 days ago. I couldn’t keep water down, and wasn’t really able to eat. I was able to eat/drink like normal yesterday. My 5.5 month old is extremely frustrated when nursing, both yesterday and today. I’m assuming it took a hit on my supply. Should I let her just keep nursing even though she’s so frustrated? Will this help get it back? Or is it not worth the fight to have her fussy/frustrated/hungry and just give her bottles from the freezer? Worried that’ll make my supply worse since she can get more out of me than a pump. Anyone been through this? Also, my period is back for the first time which will also probably hurt my supply for a bit.
