Spots around eyes: They are caused by rupture of minute blood vessels following vomiting or coughing.

Petechiae: It sounds like they may be something called petechiae. They are very small bruises, caused by a trauma such as hard coughing or vomiting. In this case they are commonly seen around the eyes. They usually go away after several days. If they appear elsewhere on the body, get bigger, or are associated with a significant illness, then you should see your doctor.

My son had these random single, not clustered, spots on his neck, back, next to his ears and on his head. Some went away, some have made horrible deep red bigger crusty mark. He now has very fine blood spots on his eye lids and under his eyes.
