To address your persistent bad smell from the nose, left-sided head pain, GERD, and thyroid issues, consider the following Ayurvedic recommendations:
GERD Management: Avoid spicy, acidic, fried, and processed foods. Include soothing foods like oatmeal, bananas, and cooked vegetables, and drink warm herbal teas (e.g., ginger or chamomile). Eat smaller, more frequent meals.
Thyroid Support: Incorporate iodine-rich foods (like seaweed and fish), fiber-rich foods (whole grains, fruits, vegetables), and healthy fats (ghee, olive oil).
Herbal Remedies
Triphala: Supports digestion and detoxification.
Ginger: Soothes the stomach; consume as tea after meals.
Tulsi: Reduces sinus congestion; drink as tea.
Neem: Antimicrobial properties; can be used as a nasal rinse.
Kanchanar Guggulu: Supports thyroid health.
Nasal Care
Neti Pot: Use saline nasal rinses to clear nasal passages.
Steam Inhalation: Inhale steam with eucalyptus or peppermint oil to relieve congestion.
Lifestyle Changes
Exercise: Engage in moderate exercise to improve circulation and manage stress.
Stress Management: Practice mindfulness or yoga.
Adequate Sleep: Ensure sufficient restorative sleep.
Consultation

The persistent bad smell coming from your nose, along with the left-sided head pain and your history of GERD (Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease) and thyroid issues, suggests a possible connection to sinusitis or nasal inflammation. In Ayurveda, this condition can be viewed as a result of an imbalance in the body's doshas, particularly Kapha and Vata, which may lead to excess mucus production and congestion.
To address this issue, it is essential to follow a comprehensive approach. First, consider incorporating dietary changes that reduce inflammation and acidity. Avoid spicy, oily, and fried foods, and focus on warm, cooked meals with ingredients like ginger, turmeric, and garlic, which have anti-inflammatory properties.
For the bad smell and nasal congestion, nasal irrigation using a saline solution can help clear mucus and reduce any blockages. Additionally, steam inhalation with eucalyptus or peppermint oil may provide relief. Ayurvedic herbal formulations such as Sitopaladi Churna or Triphala can be beneficial for digestion and sinus health.
Given your GERD, it's important to manage acidity as well. Small, frequent meals and avoiding late-night eating can help mitigate acid reflux symptoms.
Since you have a thyroid level of 7.2, it's crucial to regularly monitor this with your healthcare provider and discuss any specific Ayurvedic treatments, such as Guggulu or Kanchanar Guggulu, which may support thyroid function.

Dealing with all those symptoms can be quite tough. Let's try and untangle what's going on with Ayurveda's wisdom. The smell you're experiencing might hint at an imbalance in your doshas. Specifically, a Kapha-Vata imbalance could contribute to mucus accumulation and sinus issues—possibly relating to the smell.
First off, we should tackle the GERD problem. An irregular Agni, or digestive fire, could be at the root here, which tends to be common in Pitta imbalance. Incorporate cooling foods into your diet like cucumber, cilantro and coconut water. Avoid spicy, oily, and heavy meals—especially late in the evening. Opt for light, warm dinners to ease digestion, and try ginger tea after meals to help calm the digestive tract.
For thyroid issues, which often link with hypo-functioning of the thyroid gland, balance with iodine-rich foods like seaweed in moderation (but check with a doctor first), and consider incorporating Ashwagandha. It's an adaptogenic herb useful for endocrine balance, but talk with your healthcare provider before adding any herbs since you have a thyroid condition.
As for that head pain, Nasya might be beneficial, where medicated oil is gently introduced into the nostrils. This can help clear nasal congestion and support sinus health, possibly reducing the odor. Begin with simple oil like sesame oil if you're new to this practice.
Incorporate lifestyle changes too: regular exercise keeping both mind and body active, ensure enough sleep, and try practicing Pranayama (breathing exercises) to enhance overall balance. Remember, Ayurveda is about whole-person wellness, not a quick fix, so be patient with yourself.
But here's the kicker: if these symptoms persist or worsen, don't hesitate to consult with a qualified healthcare professional or Ayurvedic expert directly, especially for the thyroid and any continual pains. Always important to rule out any serious underlying conditions that may need immediate attention.
