I have no real idea whether this will help your goldfish. I would follow the directions on the specific package of salt that you bought. However that said - if you mix it with fresh water and add a bit every couple hours until getting to the level they recommend - it's probably ok.I have aquarium salt for my goldfish that is supposed to reduce stress and help with fin rot.

Thats a great point - I meant to ask the size of the goldfish. No matter what the size is today, it will be a lot bigger in 2 yearsTo best help your goldfish, get it in a larger tank. There really aren’t any fish that would do well in a 3 gallon bowl, except maybe the smallest gobies.
If you get it into a 75 gallon (at the very least - a 6 foot 125 being better) you’d be surprised how much healthier it will become. In freshwater systems, many problems can be alleviated by improving living conditions first.
