I have a few adults who had just been recovered from a bout of bacteria infections. They do not seem to have regained thier appetite for any food given. Can someone please advise as to how best to get them back to eating ?

If they're just recovering from an illness, give them some time. I would raise the temp up to around 88-90 for at least 10-12 days. I would also add salt at about 3 TBS per 10 gallons...

I would raise the temp as suggested. I'd forget the salt. No reason for its use here. If you make beefheart or seafood mix, add some B vitamins to it. Antibiotic treatments tend to deplete B vitamin from the discus.
