Cong naso-lacrimal duct(COND) leads to mild watering but due to secondary infection his eyes became swollen & watering increased, put antibiotic drops(vigamox eye drops) 5-6 times a day & ask her mother to learn how to message from ophthmologist for COND.Massage is done while lactating the child so that child does not cry.

It seems unlikely duct block. may be simple conjunctivitis. It can respond to antibiotic drops.
