Hello
It seems from the history that your 6 months old son is having watering in eyes.
This is a common problem in children and is seen in 90% of new borns , but not to worry 90% of them get cured of the condition by 1 year of age.
The treatment is by use of antibiotic eye drops and lacrimal sac massage.
If it wont respond then lacrimal probing is required and this cna be done at 1 year of age.
Thank you
