You can eat garlic when you have influenza because garlic has certain anti-pathogenic microbial effects, but influenza is a systemic disease that requires comprehensive treatment rather than eating 1-2 kinds of food to solve the problem, as follows: 1. Patients with influenza are usually accompanied by high fever, and when they have high fever, they should be given general care, more water, more rest, and also given antipyretic drugs for symptomatic treatment; 2. Targeted treatment, such as oseltamivir or zanamivir and other special drugs, in order to truly control the disease. Oseltamivir is generally treated for 5 days, 75mg, 2 times/day, orally, and zanamivir is also 2 times/day. In addition, there are also inhalers, which are more effective, one inhalation in the morning and one in the evening, together with diet and rest, fever reduction and other treatments.
