This condition is caused by a partial or complete obstruction in the tear drainage system.
Next Steps
One of the easiest ways to fix a blockage in babies is to massage the lacrimal sac.
The lacrimal sac is in the inner corner of the lower eyelid.
Health Tips
Start at the inner corner of the eye and press upward. Be very gentle. Do this twice a day.
