A. this occurs due to nasolacrimal duct obstruction which is very common in children at this age it occurs due to obstruction of pathway (nasolacrimal duct) from eyes to the nose for which eyes massage is needed regularly and this problem goes away with increasing age of the child meet your doctor for more information and also go through various videos cwhich will also tell you how to massage the eyes to decrease the obstruction. if the obstruction is not taken care of the proper massage it can lead to infection in the eyes( yellow secretion) and more watery eyes as well as red eyes and secretions from the eyes

A. Maintain proper hygiene by cleaning the eyes of your child every two or three hours with regular to cold water this is a common thing to be seen so don’t worry about it if you feel the problem is persisting even after maintaining hygiene kindly consult your doctor
