Personally if this was my fish; I'd just try to keep the environment calm, make sure it's well fed, with a low stress level as possible.
The fish if strong and calm will fight off the ich infection all on it's own. ( this is my opinion and your milage may vary )
If the infection gets totally out of control, I would use a hospital tank and treat him with hypo-salinity.... ( this has worked for me every time I have tried it ) but ask around for some further advice, someone else might have a better method for this specific fish.
First and foremost, try to relax and let your fishy try to beat this infection all on it's own; I realize it's easy to get worried, but sometimes no intervention is the best medicine.
Good luck :-)
