add some pimafix bump the temp up 2-3 degress and turn off the lights
 
i would try using sea salt first same idea as above, bump up temp, add salt, do water changes every other day, i do this and 9/10 times it works, the reason in do so is i like to stick to natural methods vs. non natural... if you medicate the fish it will only be worse the next time it happens because it is more dependent on the medication than natural healing. hope it helps.
 
not a problem, good luck and hope he gets better
