Massaging the area can manually push the blockage through the duct. Wash your hands thoroughly with soap.
One of the most effective home remedies for a tear duct infection is applying a warm compress to the affected area. Soak a clean cloth in warm water, wring it out, and apply it to the eye for 5-10 minutes, 2-3 times a day. This can help loosen up any blockages in the tear duct and reduce swelling.
