That's exactly it. I haven't gone to the doctor because I like to wait to see if I can cure things myself first before seeking medical attention! haha. </p> <p>@wahine08: AH! I never thought of a hot tea bag. Does it matter what kind? All I got is earl grey. hahaha I'm at work so the only other thing I can use is paper towel and it doesn't keep heat well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/blocked-tear-duct-2#post-904775 Wed, 03 Jul 2013 15:08:55 +0000 wahine08 904775@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Using a hot tea bag as a compress helps me. It stops hurting to the touch when mine starts getting better. Good luck!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/blocked-tear-duct-2#post-904767 Wed, 03 Jul 2013 15:07:49 +0000 Freckles 904767@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Have you gone to see the doctor??

I might have to do the warm compress a little more diligently. I've been slacking and that might be my downfall. Is there any point you can tell it's getting better? </p> <p>It's kinda gross, but DH said his expressed a pus. ew. I don't like the sounds of that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/blocked-tear-duct-2#post-904748 Wed, 03 Jul 2013 15:03:16 +0000 T.H.O.U. 904748@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ahh I'm sorry, I've always just done warm compresses but you may need to see a doctor. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/blocked-tear-duct-2#post-904728 Wed, 03 Jul 2013 14:57:12 +0000 .twist. 904728@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>wah. bump. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/blocked-tear-duct-2#post-904630 Wed, 03 Jul 2013 14:26:37 +0000 .twist. 904630@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ladies, I have a blocked tear duct (at least I'm sure that's what it is). Right where my left tear duct is, is swollen and tender to the touch. I've been (not religiously) putting a hot compress on it, but I don't think it's helping. </p> <p>Anyone know what I can do to make this go away!??! </p>
