A member asked:

Hi my baby girl seems to have a blocked tear duct and a little bit of sleep/pas forms there very quickly after cleaning it i use warm water and cotton wool any thing else i can try it only started this morning she is 3 months old?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Depends on situation: This is common in infants & given some time & growth the blockage stops on its own as the duct becomes larger.If still blocked at 6m & unresponsive to simple measures, an ophthalmologist may need to probe the duct & clear the blockage. One simple treatment involves rolling the tip of the finger over the inner corner of the eye over the tear sac of the eye which may push out any debris blocking it
