the warmer temps isnt necessarily to help with the bacteria, its to keep the discus healthy. I keep mine at 85-86.
do they have any lesions? or other injuries?

3 of the 4 adults do. They are to varying degrees. The one that was the worst last time seems totally fine and the one that was least affected last time is the worst this time.
I tell you I'm about ready to give up! I'm not so sure anymore that Discus are fun!! I was prepared for a lot of work. I've had them for 1 year....and I must say it was more than I thought.

probably is colimnaris then. usually lesions aree associated with it.
Personally I have never had to deal with columnaris, but have read up on it in the past.
I would definately get them QT'd by themselves, and treat with Maracyn. Maracyn 1 says its for columnaris, but it is a gram positive antibiotic. I have heard of people having better luck treating with Maracyn 2.

I used both Maracyn and maracyn 2 to treat colimnaris. It helps cover any secondary infections that can get in the wounds. It cleared up my tank in the 5 day dose. I also turned down the temperature to slow the disease down. It is contagious so I would watch the others for symptoms.
