Before the age of 1 year, a proper sac massage with antibiotic eye drops can cure 90% of these children. If they donot respond to the medical treatment then probing is done with or without intracanalicular intubation after the age of 1 year. After the age of 4 years, if the watering still persists then a DCR surgery is done which involves creating a new passage for the water to drain through the nose.
