I think you probably have high nitrites which makes it tough for them to breathe, need some stability/prime for now and a test kit to confirm. It won’t smell like ammonia and your water can still be clear

Added ph,ammonia,chlorine stabiliser medicine still the same condition after 8 hours
 
you using the liquid api test kit? what are all your readings?
 
Can you be more specific with the medicine? It’s very difficult to know your problem without tests or bringing a water sample to your lfs. And it’s a lot more difficult to solve that problem.

Sounds like you did a fin level water change (90%)? I’m not an expert but I think that means you’ll be starting a cycle over again so you’ll still need something like prime/stability to get you through the next leg. I’d say your fish is extremely stressed but you really need those tests done to really know what’s wrong. I can’t really recommend anything else unless you have a spare tank running in the meantime.
