Ok, buy vitamine C powder (pure powder is cheap; forget the pills) and take at least five times a day a quarter teaspoon in hot tea.
Do it ASAP, that is important.

The taste is great, exactly like citric acid.
Overdosage is not poisonous, although I have the feeling that too much lets you go to the toilet.
