Could Popped Blood Vessel In Eyes And Headache Be Due To Allergy?

my sister in law is visiting from UK in USA and about 2 weeks after she got here her eyes have popped blood vessel in her eyes. The house where she is staying there are several cats and a dog and i'm thinking maybe she has an allergic reaction. she gets headaches as well which last about 2-3 days...this has happened now 3 times in the last 2 weeks

Well to you it might seems to be allergic but to me it appears to be something else, repeated attack of conjunctival congestion eye with continuous headahce may be due to some eye pathology like open or close angle glaucoma or even some cavernous sinus pathology. so you should meet an eye specialist and get your eye examined , eye pressure measured, retinoscopy and fundoscopy done, and certain test should be done to exclude glaucoma, if required CT scan or MRI can be done to exclude intracranial pathology. follow the preventive and treatment plan of your specialist there after.
thanks and with regards.
