What should be done now about the blocked tear duct in children?

Patient's question:

After being born for a while, both eyes had eye discharge, but after using eye drops, one eye recovered. Sometimes the right eye is dry, mostly teary, occasionally with eye discharge. It has been flushed once but still doesn't open.

Doctor's answer:

If it's a one-month-old child, it is recommended to continue conservative treatment such as flushing, massage, and medication. If it's one year old, it is advised to undergo lacrimal duct intubation surgery as soon as possible.
