Is that ammonia reading after a water change or a couple of days later?
You should have an ammonia reading of 0 and you should have a nitrate reading of some sort .
I would hold off on the treatment for a while and up the water changes to 40 to 50% every 2nd day for a couple of weeks .Then see how the fish is looking .

Is the tank planted. It is not uncommon to have 0 nitrate.
The fact that you have detectable ammonia is a big worry.
What filtration are you using?
Run us through your water change/maintenance.
What substrate?

Hard to say. I'm no expert. I have had both problems.. Dam I think I have had every problem to be honest, not far off flushing them (JJ).
Big L wormer is the easy way to go. Hex (Metro) feces looks like slimy semi clear.
Maybe someone who has lost more or brought more back from the dead can help you
