depends on what problem comes up. i wouldnt necessarily treat if there are no symptoms. if there is white fuz, treat for fungus. if there are red streaks that look like blood under the skin or if it develops into an open sore, treat for bacterial infections. quick cure treats for a few things but is pretty strong and i have not, and probably would not, use it on frogs. melafix and pimafix are good general antibiotics and melafix helps heal wounds. these are both very mild, even preventative, medications that should be safe for your frogs, but i havent tried either with frogs that i remember. if problems arise thimgs like maroxy, maracynI&II, and trisulfa meds may be needed. all are specialized relatively strong fish medications and you will have to check the packages for what each one treats. dont mix meds that have the same active ingredients, that is effectively just doubling up on either one and you could overdose the frogs. remember that these are all fish meds and not intended for frogs. it is just an option besides taking him to the vet. even if they died, if you did the best you could with good intentions you did fine, and more than most people would probably do.
