Tears in eyes

2021-02-05 09:29:35
Hi, my baby is 4 .5 months old and he is having tears in his eyes. Tears are not continuous but 3-4 times in a day. I'm doing nasolacrimal massage from inner corner of the eye pushing down towards the nose but its of no help. No redness or itching is there. I went to pediatrician and he said it will resolve with the massage but i don't see any results. What should i do, is it something to worry about? Kindly help

It's nothing to worry mam... usually in some babies ,it takes months to open nasolacrimal duct. So nasolacrimal massage will help. So wait for few weeks... maintain hygeine.
