krazybob both my young cats I adopted last October had this virus and it took a good month for things to clear.
They both take lysine (500mg/day) for preventative now but were taking 1000mg/day during the flare up. 
I stopped Ziggy's eye drops because they were really really irritating him and they were not getting better 
As for the snotty nose, I gave them Claritin but I do not remember the dosage. 
I joined and received many many helpful hints and relief from this group...

There are many knowledgeable people there. They might be able to help with the dosage. Don't despair...your kitty will be just fine, I am sure
