If you see improvements with the fungicide, try to soak your plant in compost tea diluted of course. I noticed that my plants (treated ocasionally with a misture of horsetail, stinging nettles, etc teas decompsed) do not seem prone to insects or fungi. Compost tea stinks for a few hours though. If you drink plant teas (chamomile, etc) you could save the plants after the tea and use them for your flowers as a cool tea...
Generally my plants are kept almost dry in winter when my home is a coolish 19-20C and dry if temperature goes to 16C. Light is extremely important also...
Vermicompost can be purchased locally and is a very good option if non pasteurized. Camomille triggers some defense mecanisms in the plant as well as helps her put up with a shock from treatment or chainging environmental conditions. some other elicitors are chitosan or salicylic acid/willow water... Unfortunately, I believe the plant might have had fusarium because of those rings and you should have cut the head off a long time ago or used some teas and protective fungi on a regular basis to avoid getting it in the first place.
