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.
