Yes It’s ok to use whitespot or fungus treatment your fry should be fine.

Now imagine the fry having spots that size on them xt3r3s4x. The parasites are the same size on a fry or on a 6 inch fish. On a fry it will kill them rather quickly. If you do not treat the tank, the parasites will infest anything in the tank including new born fry.
