How much do I use for a 2 gallon tank do I take out the filter also ? And I used less then a 1/4 teaspoon and I only put 2 drops of bettafix in the 2 gallon tank scared of overdosing my betta fish ??

The instructions for dosage should be at the back of the bottle. If you think you have added to much then perform a water change. Best of luck.

Thank you but it says 5ml for a 10 gallon aquarium and I have a 2 gallon aquarium
 
This seems more like a math question
5/10=x/2
After u solve you will get x = 1
This means that you should use 1 mL for your 2 gallon tank

Hi and welcome to the forum :)

What fish are you treating?
Why are you treating the fish, what is wrong with it?
If you can post a picture of the fish it can help us identify the issue.

You never use medications unless you know what is wrong with the fish.
You always use a filter and increase aeration when using medications.
Melafix, Pimafix & Betafix can leave an oily film on the surface of the water, which can cause fish to suffocate. Make sure there is some surface turbulence to prevent this from happening.

Most fish health issues are caused by poor water quality and doing a 75% water change and gravel cleaning the substrate each day for a week or more will fix most problems.
Make sure any new water is free of chlorine/ chloramine before it is added to the tank.

The following link has information about what to do if your fish gets sick. It's pretty long and boring but worth knowing. I recommend printing it out and reading it in bed to help fall asleep.

My betta fish has a fungal infection he has a white body and has not been eating very much he usually eats everything 3 bloodworms and every other day he eats his food but his body looks pretty patchy white and I don't have gravel in his aquarium right now because I'm cleaning out his aquarium and put him in a hospital type aquarium for now as I did a bunch of research and reading over the past few days and I ordered the recommended medication and I was just trying to figure out what dose amounts for each medication
 
For each medication as it has been over a week since this break out happened and I did the recommended salt dips but that didn't shake it off at all so I've been struggling
 
Not doing well at all I have been giving him the recommended dosage and know he is not swimming around much anymore he is just lying around the bottom he is super sick still his white patches are clearing up but he just doesn't want to swim around or even eat
