He may be having what we call congenital nasolacrimal duct obstruction. You need to massage the nasal area. Google'crigler massage' or check on youtube and do it dutifully till the baby is one year old. Most of the time, the condition subsides on its own just with the massage. If there is too much discharge then you need to put mild antibiotic drops to prevent further infection.
