Hi
Those swellings are your congested lacrimal sacs, which are resulting due to improper drainage of the tear fluid formed from the lacrimal glands around your eyes. This could be since birth known as congenital nasolacrimal duct block or aquired later in life due to some nasal problem.
Consult an oculoplastic surgeon for this.
Take care
