Your betta may be suffering due to bad water quality when it has not been changed enough. You should make sure that you change some, or all of the water in your fish tank at minimum once per week, or more if it's too small.
It may be possible to save your fish provided you keep the water extra clean, and add some aquarium salt (1 tablespoon per 5 gallons of water), and the correct dosage of Melafix per the instructions on the bottle. Do not use regular table salt, this must be aquarium salt or epsom salt only.
