The most common cause of watering eyes among adults and older children is blocked ducts or ducts that are too narrow. Narrowed tear ducts usually develop as a result of swelling or inflammation. If the tear ducts are narrowed or blocked, tears will not drain away and will build up in the tear sac.

Hello. Kindly follow your doctor’s advise as he has rightly prescribed you the medications. Steroids are to be tapered only and never stopped abruptly.
Taking steroids for this much of shorter time would not cause major side effects. So no need to worry. Hope this helps. You can reach me out for any further queries. Thank you.

Dear lybrate-user, please stop using this medication asap. You are inviting a lot of trouble to your eyes including glaucoma. Just consult your family doctor or an ophthalmologist and get the right medication. Never buy by your own as it is not indicated in your condition.
