Hi.. I can fully understand your worry.
Since it is only one eye which is affected.. it's highly likely to be due to lacrimal duct block.. you have to learn the duct massage and no need of using any drops..
Do follow and Subscribe to DrPoonamsvlog on YouTube.. I make small videos on topics that worry parents..
