Start taking about 40 mg of zinc daily. Also, get some Quercetin and take that daily. Quercetin is an ionophore, which facilitates the transport of the zinc across the cell membrane. Zinc virtually stops the virus reproducing in its tracks. If you aren't outside a lot and get tons of vitamin D, then also take about 10,000 IU of vitamin D3 daily. Vitamin D3 is critical to boosting your immune response to this and many other viral infections.
