Visit an EyeMD: Sounds like a nasolacrimal duct obstruction, which usually results in tearing, eyelid redness, matted eyelashes, occasionally reflux of mucous from the tear duct with pressure. This condition usually resolves in first few months of life up to 1but if persistent, a pediatric ophthalmologist should evaluate your child for the best treatment option. This may involve a procedure to unblock the duct.
