The two studies linked here do not directly investigate ginger in food form as a cold or flu support intervention. One is a qualitative study examining antibiotic overuse patterns in Nepal during the COVID-19 pandemic, and the other is an observational study analyzing factors influencing COVID-19 outcomes in India, including broad dietary variables among many others. Neither study isolates or evaluates ginger specifically for cold or flu symptom relief or prevention. As a result, no evidence-based summary can be responsibly drawn from this particular set of studies regarding ginger's role in supporting cold and flu recovery, and readers interested in this topic would benefit from consulting research that directly and specifically examines ginger as an intervention for upper respiratory illness.
