This depends on age and symptoms. For the most part, as is with almost all viruses, supportive treatment is indicated first (meaning treat the symptoms as they come). Rest is key for you AND your daughter to get through this, so take care of yourself too, mom.
Symptomatic treatment for mild to moderate cases, like vit C, zinc, Tylenol
In severe cases might use prescription medication called Paxlovid
