This morning it appears to have come to a head is draining, should it do this , and will or should it drain all of that infection out and be gone soon?
Hi
Pain and redness point towards acute dacryocystitis, which is treated by oral antibiotics, antibiotic eye drops and anti inflammatory eye drops,which should be started by your ophthalmologist. Once this inflammation has resolved then syrining of the lacrimal passages has to be done. Consult an ophthalmic plastic surgeon for proper management of the condition.
Take care
