Question on treatment of colds by garlic

[Taras]

Hello!
The doctor, last two times when I caught a cold or chilled put in nostrils on half of lobe of garlic. I do not know, whether there is here an effect platsebo, but it helps or assists. Cures more quickly tablets.
Whether it is harmful for mucous, and in general as you concern to such kind of treatment at ordinary diseases of a nasopharynx?

Thanks.
