I hope that the garlic helped.
Ich has a cycle to it's life and it will fall off the host and sit in the substrate waiting to rehatch, that is when it can get ugly. I don't mean to scare you, but I learned the hard. That is what happened to me and it wiped out all my fish! Usually the second infestation is too much for a weakened fish. The fish can also get a secondary bacterial infection. I hate ich
Best of luck jb1

There's a reef safe treatment called No-Ich available. A friend of mine had a horrible ich outbreak in his tank, the worst I had ever seen. He used No-ich for two weeks, and everything was fine. No corals or other inverts died. I highly recommend it.
