Don't do a freshwater bath. In my experience it doesn't do anything good but stresses the fish a lot.
If skin flukes or ich are of concern I would recommend going to full therapeutic hyposalinity. In my experience Regals handle that very well.

Salinity is now at 1.020. He seems to be breathing slightly slower (before I lowered the salinity). Perhaps he's calming down and making a comeback. There is a white fluke floating in the water that is half red (blood I assume). Poor guy may have been loaded with these critters. I probably should have done Prazipro first.
