A little aquarium salt wouldn't hurt your cause either. About 1 tablespoon per 10 gallons is adequate IME.
Melafix actually isn't good for labyrinth fish (like bettas), but they do make "betafix" which does the same thing (I believe it might just be diluted melafix). If you do use melafix, I'd start with a decreased dosage (maybe 1/2 the recommended) and keep an eye on them.
Dead banana leaves will be your best thing in healing a betta. Don't use any medication on betta...can be dangerous.
