Can I eat garlic when I have a cold and cough?

If you have a cold or cough, you should eat more fruits and drink more water. This will allow the bacteria and viruses in the body to be gradually excreted through the urinary system. Garlic, as a condiment, can play a good role in anti-inflammatory, bactericidal and antiviral effects. Therefore, eating more garlic can improve the body's immunity, resist many viruses, and effectively prevent colds. Let’s take a look at whether you can eat garlic when you have a cold or cough?

Garlic has antiviral and anti-inflammatory effects, and is often used clinically to treat infectious diseases and digestive tract diseases. An injection called allicin currently used in hospitals utilizes its anti-inflammatory effect. Garlic is used to fight colds, mainly because of its antiviral function. In addition to preventing colds, eating garlic regularly can also help prevent colds. If a cold is still in its early stages, such as sore throat, runny nose and other symptoms, eating some garlic in time can also help the body sweat and kill the cold virus in the cradle.

Use a knife to smash the garlic, add a few pieces of rock sugar and a bowl of water, and boil until the water turns white. Half a bowl will be enough. Immediate results. The coughing stopped immediately after drinking it.

The simplest way to treat throat itching and cough is to peel a clove of garlic, hold it in your mouth and bite it gently. After the garlic flavor comes out, slowly swallow one grain and hold it in your mouth for an hour. The throat itching will turn into a mild cough and the disease will be cured.

Another method is to take a dozen cloves of garlic, mash them into a paste, put them in a cup, add rock sugar, and brew it with boiling water as tea.

Garlic is warm in nature and enters the spleen and kidneys. It can be used to treat bronchitis and asthma.

Crush the garlic and put it into a bowl (put a lid on the bowl), bring to a boil over high heat and then steam over low heat for 10-15 minutes. Don't eat the garlic, just drink the water.

Roast the garlic (roast until dry and yellow, but not black), use a rolling pin to knead it into powder, pour into a cup, add brown sugar and drink as tea.

Peel the garlic, wash it, seal it with honey and soak it for a week. The taste is better than the previous methods.
