Tears Are Not Always Harmless or Emotional !

As you look at your baby, for those of you who have had children: you wonder why he/she is tearing. Is he/she unhappy, wet or is something else wrong?

Tearing or watering is commonly seen in infants that is often accompanied by a discharge or what we call colloquially"sleep" .

While the causes vary one major reason is a blocked nasolacrimal duct. Though it may seem harmless at first it may later develop into a condition called Dacryocystitis where the sac becomes infected.

Treatment generally involves doing massages carefully done with instructions and antibiotics drops.

Please seek help from your ophthalmologist.
