Tear duct plugged: It is common for the tear ducts to occasionally plug in infancy & may trigger enough drainage to need treatment. Most just need frequent cleaning & pressure over the tear sac to clear the mess.A few will need the duct probed by an eye doc if it continues to drain >6m.

Blocked tear duct: Talk to your baby's doctor. It sounds like the tear duct in her left eye might be blocked or that eye or eyelid might be infected. They can tell you what to do about this.
