Welcome to health care magic.

1.It is lacrimal duct dilatation due to the distal obstruction / stricture which is causing the swelling like condition.
2. Generally massage at that area will be indicated - on regular basis the duct may ease of and be normal.
3.IF not then there is a guided procedure done to dilate the duct and remove the distal obstruction.
4.As diagnostic a contrast is passed through the duct and imaging is done accordingly procedure is planned.
5.In this case i would recommend you to see ophthalmologist - let it get examined and diagnosed and treated accordingly, there is no serious thing to worry, however needs to treated.

Good luck.
Hope i have answered your query,
any thing to ask ? do not hesitate to ask.
