Hello
It seems from the history that you had a head injury following which you are having red eyes.
This indicates sub conjunctival hemorrhage and is because of collection of blood under conjunctiva as a result of direct injury to the eye or indirect injury.
This will resolve by 3-4 weeks and applying hot compression will help
.
However if there is diminution of vision or signs of concussion head injury like loss of consciousness following injury, nausea, vomiting... need to consult your doctor for examination and treatment.
Thank you
