Welcome to the forum.

Mint is usually bullet proof and needs little attention other than good light and an occasional watering.

How wet is your soil? If it is more than just damp you may be over watering. Is the pot in a pot saucer? If so get rid of the saucer. When you water put it in a sink or bucket and water very well. Let it drain then put it back in it's home. Let it dry out between watering.

Skip the egg shells and tea leaves for a while. See what happens.

Good luck
