Your description suggests that the condition your frog has is similar to that of Nematode infection. Obviously, I have no way of knowing for sure. You will find further information about it at: http://www.xlaevis.com/diseases.html

I suggest that you transfer the frog to a clean container of fresh water at the same temperature. It doesn't have to be a tank. A black plastic bucket or something similar would be ideal. Use only enough water to enable the frog to stand up with its nostrils protruding out of the water. Place something over the top, such as a sheet of glass and keep the bucket in a shady, quiet place without disturbing the frog unnecessarily. Keep it there for a day then check to see if there's any improvement. If there is, change the water again and keep doing so until you know which way things are going. You have nothing to lose by trying this and sometimes, though not always, it does work with the symptoms you have described.
