I recall a TFH article puts on her best Cali face where a woman had that exact problem, and the plants were way to delicate to medicate or to raise the temperature to something intolerable. She ended up quarantining the main tank (I believe she raised the temp a little) and doing big water changes on the fish. From memory she didn't medicate them, just kept changing the environment to reduce the population of parasites. Seemed to work pretty well too (but it looked like way too much work!) For animals, the entire universe has been neatly divided into things to (a) mate with, (b) eat, (c) run away from, and (d) rocks. - Terry Pratchett

If I turned my tank up to 98 degrees I guarantee you I would lose HALF or more of my fish. With ICH you should turn the tank up to 88 degrees, not 98. Youre very lucky your fish are still alive.
