Pediatrician 's  Response
Hi Dear
welcome to the HCM,
Blocked nasolacrimal duct since birth is the cause of such.
Massage of the sac may lead to opening of the duct opening and the problem will be solved.
Antibiotic eye drop to be poured frequently so that infection is eradicated.
Hope the query is answered.
thanks
