Fin rott getting worse

[Iggypuffer]

Ok so just before I went on my four day trip Alfred the betta sliced his fin and got fin rott. It was very mild so I started doing 25percent water changes every other day and using aquarium salt and it seemed to be getting better. But then I had to go on this trip and apparently no body was doing water changes and when I came back yesterday the fin rott had started in two different places. I've been doing about 50percent water changes every day and added more aquarium salt. I'm worried though because although it is still pretty mild, it has gotten a lot worse since I left Sunday and there are quite a few bladder snails in the tank that are causing there to be a lot of waste build up. It is a heated 10g with filter. The parameters are:
Nitrates 20
Nitrites 0
GH 50
KH 40
pH 6.8
Any advice is welcome. I am going to continue with the water changes and gravel vac. and aquarium salt, but if there are any medicines you could recommend for betta fish I would be grateful.

Could I see a photo? If it has progressed far enough I have a few antibiotics I can recommend.

Sorry no pics he won't stop moving. It looks like he has four spots on his tail fin that have been infected. And I don't know if it is just because some of the infected tissue fell off, but his fin looks a little better than it did earlier and he is moving and eating normally.

Have you tried also using Indian almond leaves? This can help betta a lot. I would avoid antibiotics unless it’s fairly sever

I have not tried Indian almond leaves. Can I find them at PetSmart/Petco? Are they compatible with aquarium salt? Also define severe.

I have not seen them there but you could check the website. They can tell you what’s in stock. I get mine on eBay or amazon.
