    Do you know what medication your friend used? I've been keeping fish for over 5 decades and never seen a "smelly fish medicine" that had a strong smell after mixing in tank; much less one with such persistent odor characteristics. Some do smell for awhile (i.e. Melafix) but nothing that remains after a water change or removal with carbon. Are you sure what you small is a fish medicine and not something else ?
    Remember to take care of the enclosure and it will take care of your frog !​

    It was something called maracide. But I think now I may have smelled something else. They gave me the medicine and it smells like play dough.
    But, I used the Wipe Out and it doesn't smell anymore.
