The usual cause of sickness in Bettas is a failure to keep the fish in reasonable living conditions. Correct the fishes living conditions and it just may come good. The basic rules for successfull fish keeping are. :- 1 inch of fish needs a minimum of 1 gallon of water. :- Every tank needs a permananently running cycled filter. :- Every tank needs at least 50% of its water replaced every week. (A Betta is a 3" fish and so needs a MINIMUM of 3 gallons . 10 gallons is better). Keep your water at the right temperature (78F to 80F) and follow the above rules and your fish will stand a reasonable chance of survival. Fail in any of them and I can guarantee that your fish will have constant health problems.
