My 6-month-old daughter has had continuous tearing from her eyes since birth, and she also rubs them often. Could this be a problem, and what should we do?
Continuous tearing since birth in a 6-month-old baby is often due to a blocked tear duct. It is common and may improve on its own as the child grows. Gently clean the eyes with clean water and avoid rubbing. Consult a paediatrician or an eye specialist to identify the cause and guide appropriate treatment.
