Hello
Welcome to health care magic
I reviewed your history.
It seems from the history that you are having dacryocystitis.
This requires treatment by the antibiotics and antiinflammatory drugs in acute exacerberation.
The definitive treatment is by surgery in the form of dacryocystorhinostomy.
Hence I advice you to consult your doctor for treatment.
Thank you
