Red patch after eye flu
I had eye flu a week ago. After the symptoms of eye flu gone, my eye left which red patch in a eye. (Eye has no irritation, eye is as normal as it was before eye flu but only has red patch in both the eyes, in one eye small scatter and in one eye large and visible clearly to anyone from distance)
Please please advise me to treat/cure it.
Thank you so much.
I'll consult to that doctor whose advise i think is genuine.

It might be subconjunctival hemorrhage.
But if the black spots are increasing, then you must consult the ophthalmologist.

It's a subconjunctival bleed.
It can occur after a sudden or severe sneeze or cough, heavy lifting, straining, vomiting or even rubbing one's eyes too roughly.
It can also occur as a side effect of eye surgery or blood thinners or sudden shoot up of blood pressure.
It is mostly self resolving.
Usually it disappears within two weeks.
Warning signs should be ruled out like pain, diminished vision, floaters means floating mosquito in front of eye etc.
Blood pressure should be checked.
Avoid rubbing
Maintain hygeine
Avoid weight lifting.
Avoid any strains
