Diagnosed Blocked Tear Ducts, Blotchy And Pink Skin. Allergies?

Hi, my daughter is 3 months old and was diagnosed with blocked tear ducts at her 1 month well check-up. They're still blocked and now (off and on) the skin around them becomes blotchy and pink. Yesterday she started rubbing her face on anyone's chest that held her and on anything she was lying on. I'm assuming her eyes are itchy so she's attempting to scratch them. Can a 3 month old have allergies? What can I do for her?
