Symptoms of TEAR DUCT INFECTION OR BLOCKAGE
Either blockage or infection of the tear duct can produce symptoms. These include persistent tearing of one or both eyes or the drainage of mucus and pus instead of water from the tear duct. There may be spontaneous drainage from the eye, or it may produced by pressure over the tear duct. Inflammation or infection of the tear duct produces pain, swelling and redness in the lower inner part of the eyelid. The conjunctiva, or clear lining over the white part of the eye and eyelid, may become red.
