There's no proof that garlic is at all beneficial in treating parasites, but it can be a great help in getting fish to eat. That would be my first concern--making sure they are eating. From there, most puffers are tolerant of salt for external parasites, but internal parasites are best treated with medicated foods--gut-loading live food like ghost shrimp would be best.
I don't know specifics about this species though, so having RTR or PufferMom chime in would be best.
