My eyes are extremely puffed after flu?

I had a 103 fever a few days ago, and I have gradually gotten better, now I feel completely better (minus my neck being out of place), but my eyes are swollen beyond recognition, like seriously I look Asian (not intending to offend Asians out there). The flu I had was abnormal, for it may have been caused by a head infection I got and some heat exhaustion(sp). But the swelling is all in my eyes, and around the face, it causes occasional headaches and is worse when i put my head down. I have been taking benadryl(sp) for my sleep, and some tylenol(sp), but from today on Im not going to take any medicine. What could this swelling be from? Is it just a lingering effect from the past flu? Thanks for reading
