A member asked:

A week ago, my left lacrimal punctum was swollen; however, it subsided the next day. today, i realise it is still swollen around duct and it's itchy.

Itchy eye: Try some visine or other antihistamine eye drop. You can use warm compresses on the eye and if it does not resolve this weekend, see your doctor for an antibiotic drop on Monday. Tobrex (tobramycin) is a good broad antibiotic drop to use. good luck and feel better!
