The symptoms you're describing could indeed be linked to post nasal drip, a condition where excess mucus drips down the back of the throat. In Ayurveda, this might be related to an imbalance in the Kapha dosha, which is responsible for mucus production. It’s significant to address both the symptoms and underlying dosha imbalance. First, let's discuss oil pulling. This can potentially be helpful for your situation. Use sesame oil or coconut oil for oil pulling first thing in the morning, preferably on an empty stomach. Gargle with a tablespoon of oil for about 15 minutes, attempting to swish it through all parts of your mouth and then spit it out. This procedure helps remove toxins and improve oral hygiene, but it may not target the root cause of your symptoms directly. Additionally, your diet matters a lot. Considering your history with periodic asthma and possible allergies, I would suggest avoiding dairy products and cold foods, as these can increase Kapha. Also, since your tongue feels white and sputum is smelly, it might indicate toxins (ama) in the body. Drinking warm water regularly can support agni (digestive fire) and help eliminate ama. For the dryness in your mouth and ears, increasing your water intake and perhaps using a humidifier while sleeping can do wonders. Your dry nostrils and throat irritation might improve with steam inhalation with a few drops of eucalyptus oil added. But ensure you’re not allergic to eucalyptus before trying this. It's crucial not to use boiling water to prevent injury. Regarding the sleep difficulties, elevated pillows could reduce discomfort from mucus accumulation at night, and try to sleep on left side if right is uncomfortable. Since these symptoms began in lockdown, stress might play a role. Incorporating daily practice of yoga or meditation could assist in balancing Vata dosha and relieve any associated stress. If symptoms persist or worsen, or due to previous asthma history, consider consulting a healthcare professional to rule out any more concerning causes or necessary medical interventions.
