What Causes Watery Eye In A Child After A Fall?

My 16 month old tripped and hit his forehead on my footboard, it caused a lump and mild bruising and we immediately gave him ice. We watched him for awhile and showed no signs of a concussion, my only concern is his left eye continues to water, it is like tears, no discharge just a steady watery eye. Should this be a concern? Other than the watery left eye he seems PERFECT :)

Pediatrician,  's  Response
Thanks for posting your query at HealthCareMagic. I understand the cause of your concern. Probably in the process his left nasolacrimal duct has become blocked. You need to massage the angle between the left eye and nose and gently stroke downward. Do this for 5-10 time few times each day and your should get some relief.

I hope that would help. Feel free to revert back with further queries if any.
