Ophthalmologist 's  Response
Hello,
Watery eyes following trauma may be because of injury to the tear draining tract in the eye if the injury what she had suffered was involving the area near the medial side of the nose.
The treatment of the condition is by antibiotic eye drops and she need evaluation by a ophthalmologist to find out the cause for watering as many causes lead to the watering symptom.
Thank you
