Tear Duct Infection

Tear duct infection, or dacryocystitis, is an infection of the lacrimal sac of the eye. It is caused due to injury, narrow tear ducts, the spread of nasal infection, sinusitis, or tumors. This leads to blockage of the tear duct, thus resulting in symptoms like pain, redness, swelling, and discharge from the affected eye. The treatment involves using antibiotics with warm compresses on the affected region.
