Salt is an old time remedy from back in the day when cycling was not totally understood. I wouldn't use it with discus, who generally like softer water with lower total dissolved solids. Adding any mineral, which salt is, will raise your TDS.

Before you post more info aerate the tank more and do daily water changes. Also include tank mates and tank setup, eg filters and substrate.
