No way of knowing that without knowing what's wrong with it. Popeye can be caused by a bacterial infection or from an injury. What makes you think it has an internal infection? What symptoms is it showing?
Do you know what the ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, pH, and salinity of the tank is? And temperature?
How often do you do water changes, and how much volume do you change?
Nitrite is definately a problem if it's over 0.5. You need to do some water changes to bring it down to this level (or below).

Why does it matter...you'll know tomorrow, won't you? Unless you're planning to die first.
