A member asked:

For the past few days, there is some soreness in the area under my eye and beside my nose. no swelling or bruising. could this be a facial fracture?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Lacrimal duct: THIS IS THE AREA OF THE TEAR DUCTt. THESE OFTEN PLUG UP CAUSING EXCESSIVE TEARING AS THE CLEANSING TEARS CANNOT GET TO YOUR NOSE. TRY USING A LIGHT MASSAGE OF THE AREA AND ESPECIALLY A WARM HEATING PAD SEVERAL FOR ONE HOUR APPLICATIONS. IF NO HELP, SEE YOUR EYE DOC. A FRACTURE SHOULD BE ACCOMPANIED BY PAIN, SWELLING, DISCOLORATION AND SOMETIMES, DOUBLE VISION.
