There are two possibilities for your symptom here
1.Watering
2.Discharge
If its watering from eyes;
most common causes could be
a, canalicular stenosis (might cause blockage of normal flow of tears from eyes to nose) - no specific undervention required at this stage but we can add him on omega 3 fatty acids which help in decreasing excess tears.
b, Dacrocystitis - Infection of lacrimal sac ( the sac which generally drains tears)
there are tests like syringing test; bence jones dye dissappearance test etc to detect the level of blockage
c, dry eye - the natural tears doesnt just contain water ; it also comprises of a layer of oil which prevents water from being evaporated and will have high surface tension ;; any damage to oil secreting glands will trigger excess water(tear) production.
If its Discharge - i mean if the liquied you mentioned is yellowish/whitish --- then it could be due to infection -
In such a case we need to start on antibiotics and might even require a small surgery to evacuate the sac.
There is a lot to explain in this regard as the anatomy of production and drainage is very complex.
I tried to explain things in short
Hope this helps:)
