[|Human|] My left eyes tear duct is blocked. The tears are building up in the corner, and then eventually stream down my face or i wipe them. What is a home remedy that i can safely use? This has been bothering me for the past week.
[|AI|]  1. Wash your eye with lukewarm water with a pinch of medical grade boric acid powder dissolved in it.2. Gently massage the inner portion under your left eye.3. Partial blockages will respond to this home remedy.4. If this does not help, or if you get a discharge from our eye, visit an Ophthalmologist who may do sac syringing.5. If you are elderly, consider ruling out an external obstruction, especially if other symptoms like facial numbness, nasal obstruction or bleeding, painless fall of teeth are present.
