You have two posts with sick discus with different symptoms. ARe these new discus? This one sounds bloated, but the epsom salt should have worked by now. If it is a newly arrived fish was there a big change in water temperture?

Continue with the epsom salt and the antibiotic for a few more days. If this is more than simple constipation many times they don't get better . . . .
