1. How long can a Oscar go without food ?
2. Do I need to increase or decrease the water temperature to help him. Currently the temperature is at 26 Degree C.
3. Is there any medication I can give him for stomach infection (he was having white poo). I changed 50% water and stopped feeding him 24 hrs now. He is reviving..better than before.

An otherwise healthy Oscar can go without fodd for a week or more with no problem at all, so I wouldn't worry about that. I also wouldn't suggest you adjust the temperature, it will be fine just as it is.
You say was having white poo and is improving, so I wouldn't be in a big hurry to change anything just yet. If his poo has returned to a normal appearance, he is probably over the problem and just recovering.
It could be a touch of constipation or even just something different he ate a few days before that is causing the problem or it's possible he has an internal parasite. If he's not well in a day or 2 from now I would suggest treating him for parasites. Praziquantel or Clout would be effective treatment options. Just folow the directions on the bottle. And thanks for the vote of confidence Luna, hope your Oscar is getting better!
