Can adults get a clogged tear duct?

One of my eyes is having some kind of issue. The inner corner of my bottom lid is a little swollen, pink and the whole under eye area hurts to touch but my eye feels itchy. This started about 2 days ago with just pain and then the pinkness and swelling came yesterday, but I don’t know if it’s from touching it. I haven’t had any contact with allergens that I know of and I don’t remember getting anything in my eye or scratching it or anything. What else could it be?

Yes you can get a plugged duct. Best to see an eye dr

So many things it could be - yes a clogged tear duct and also pink eye . Please listen to me and go to eye dr immediately! I have had some eye problems that became severe .

It could be a stye kinda like a pimple. Look up ways to get rid of it online I always use a warm compress it will just get worse until you get rid of it.

Maybe a stye ? Or pink eye?

Yes anybody can. Sounds more like pink eye than clogged tear duct
