Could Red Spots With Sore Throat And Congestion Indicate Flu?

I have red spots about the size of pencil erasers on my left leg & foot. Noticed yesterday and have more today. Checked for fleas none found, my dog also were treated 2 weeks ago. Also woke with sore throat and some congestion. Could it be part of a flu?
