Salt, and water changes every day would be my suggestion. You can try a different med, or just do a course of Maracyn 2 by itself with the salt and water changes. (Mixing 2 types of meds for bacterial infections is is generally not recommended, and can sometimes stress the fish, which won't lead to recovery.)
