    If you don't have any money, this probably won't help, but I've gotten dental discount plans before to save myself a couple hundred dollars on getting 2 teeth pulled.

    I seem to remember fish antibiotics being a solution for some people. I've also been lucky enough that I've gone to a minuteclinic place and met a nurse or doc that was nice enough to give me a rx for antibiotics without charging me for the appointment. Amazon has been doing some telehealth type stuff too. IDK if they'd give you just the rx for elsewhere, but Publix used to have a list of free meds you could get with RX, now they offer like a discount on some of them.

      Be REALLY careful going this route, but yeah, they do sell erythromycin powder at most aquarium stores to treat topical infections on aquarium fish. I have no idea how that shit is dosed. Have a back story just in case someone asks. Like "I was just at my mom's house and noticed one of her gouramis has a bacterial infection on its side. It's not fungus and it's definitely not ick."

      For antibiotics I'd rather try an UrgentCare or something first. It is counterproductive to take antibiotics without the correct dosage and schedule. It can lead to antibiotic resistance, which is very bad (because then the solution for infection becomes amputation).
