Hi, she seem to have lacrimal duct ( tear duct obstruction). it does not get corrected with eye drops. One needs to do proper massage. As she is only 4 months old, we have time to correct it. But you need to understand the complete pathology and treatment in detail. Please consult an oculopalsty surgeon who is specialist in this to help you out. Please do not delay
