Suggest Treatment For Involuntary Watery Eye

I have had an involuntary watery eye (left eye- leaking from the side of my eye which is opposite from my nose) for the past week. I am on vacation where it s very sunny and bright. I am wearing sunglasses. My eyes are NOT red or bloodshot. My left nostril also leaks from time to time when my left eye leaks. Last week I had the same thing happening in my right eye. Advice? Thanks,
