Hi welcome to the forum,

You will need to remove the frogs and snails while you treat the fish they don't do well with meds. If you have no other place to put them you can float a container in the main tank to keep them seperate while keeping them warm. Remember to add a lid with air holes or they will most likely climb out.

Alternatively if you have a warm room, buy a critter keeper and they will be fine with no filter and heater for a couple of weeks so long as they have a constant temp they can cope with cooler water than tropical fish.
