IMO salt dips tend to be better for parasites than for infections. They can also be stessful for an already pretty sick fish... in this particular case I'd probably add non-iodized salt to a hospital tank slowly over time.

Keeping up with clean water parameters is the best medicine- so daily 10% PWC (partial water changes) would be really beneficial.

Especially don't neglect the water parameters of the main tank; I'd do daily 10% in this tank as well, to try and ensure the fish that were exposed to the infection stay as healthy as possible and hopefully they will be able to avoid/fight off any infections themselves.
