Agree with the coral advice. Also, avoid overfeeding while they recover. Excess food can lower pH further.
Spot on. And if you're using peat or almond leaves, pull 'em out for now. They're great but not during a crash.

How's the temp? Sometimes bumping it to 86°F helps 'em recover faster. Just don't go higher—Discus can't take it.

Yep, and add some salt if they're still stressed. 1 tbsp per 5 gallons for a few days. Works wonders.
