Hello
It seems from the history that you are having a bright red patch following a viral infection.
This can be a patch of subconjunctival hemorrhage as a result of broken blood vessel.
This will get absorbed over 3-4 weeks and no treatment is required hence no need to worry regarding the red patch.

Thank you
