Tears from eyes go to nose via a duct.
This duct may be blocked in children less than 6 months old.
Circular massage called criggler massage over the bony area joining nose and eye- (where nasolacrimal sac is placed) opens the duct and flow of tears will go to nose .
Maintain hygiene.
Massage should be done 4 times in a day.
And in each session atleast 20 times.
Do this massage properly with your clean little pinky finger and nail of the finger should be cut to avoid injury.
