Your 3 months daughter is having non canalization of nasolacrimal duct since birth which is very common & antibiotic eye drops is not going to help, her mother has to learn from some experienced ophthmologist how to do lacrimal sac massage while lactating along with antibiotic eye drops.Antibiotic eye drops is enough for this problem, Dr Arjun kr Singh Patna
Thanks for putting up your query. Would like to know whether the watering is continuous or occasional and is associated with white or yellow discharge.
If latter, then it could be caused by some tear drainage obstruction. It could also be due to some local infection. If not relieved by tobramycin eye drop, you need to consult an Oculoplasty specialist (specializing in tear duct and related problems).
