When did you start the salt baths and are you fridging the axolotl?

Is there anyway you could provide a picture of your situation? How long are the salt baths and what is your salt:water ratio?

Make sure you follow the directions given here: Axolotls - Health & Diseases

I started the salt baths 3 days ago but will now try fridging him as well. the salt bath ratio im using at the moment is 2tblspoons per 10lt and bathing him for 10mins twice a day

Your ratio is 2 tablespoons of salt per 10 liters of water?

I typically use 2-3 teaspoons of salt per 1 liter for 10-15 minutes.

I think your ratio of salt to water is far too weak which is why it is ineffective.
