  Well, yes, flu can lead to swollen eyes, so you need to be careful about it. Generally speaking, when you suffer from flu, it is possible to have eye infection. And then eye infection can lead to swollen eyes. At this moment, you should not touch your eyes, especially with the fingers which have touched other dirty things. Or it can just make your situation more serious. To prevent it, you can also try some strawberry jam and cool used tea bags. Anyway, just pay more attention to flu.
