Many children experience watering and discharge from one or both eyes during infancy. It is generally due to incomplete canalization of what is called nasolacrimal duct. This is a tube which connects the conjunctival sac to the nose and drains the tear from eyes to nose. In some infants the nasal end of the tube remains blocked and causes watering and discharge. The solution is simple massage over lacrimal sac area with pressure being transmitted downwards. With proper technique and frequency there is a very high chance of it getting resolved without any surgical intervention like probing under general anesthesia.
