Hello
Welcome to Health care magic
I am Dr. DADAPEER K, an Ophthalmologist and I will be answering your question.
I reviewed your history.
It seems from the history that you are having a blood blister on the eyelid followed by flu.
Meningitis is a serious condition affecting the brain and it presents with high fever, nausea, vomiting, dizziness, altered consciousness....
Blood blister is commonly because of infection of glands of eyelids like hordeolum or because of eruptive skin lesions as seen in viral exanthematous fevers.
Hence no need to be worried as your symptoms does not indicate meningitis.
If possible do send me a photo of the affected eye so that I can advice you more accurately after viewing it.
Hope I have answered your question and the information is helpful to you.
