The tank is kind of small (~20g) for the aro. How did you cycle the tank? How long was the tank cycled? Using a liquid ammonia test, what are the measurements in ppm?
The oxygen may be too low due to medication, hence opening and closing its mouth.

Is it neccessary to change the tank immediately?? because i am going to change my tank after 2 months....and I cycle the tank after every 10 days...and I am not using a liquid ammonia test
It can take 4-8 weeks or longer to cycle a tank. Without a liquid ammonia test it will be difficult to make sure there isn't toxic ammonia in the water. I would do 100% water change everyday (even twice a day) until you can test the ammonia with a liquid test. Having toxic ammonia in the tank will make it difficult to treat the aro.
you mean change water every 10 days?
and is tank cycled? i doubt you will know without a test kit
