Bettas naturally have a roundish stomach. If the fish is bloated it may well be constipated but this should clear up naturally if you look after the fishes living conditions and do regular weekly 50% water changes. If the fishes scales are sticking out like a rasp, then the fish has "Dropsy" which is an uncurable, untreatable, terminal disease.

How do you save my betta fish if it is floating on its side?

It's Very simple, the reason your betta is on it's side is because it has this sickness called swim blatter disorder it is a sickness where the fish's stomach is bloated so the air bubble in the stomach is to big and makes the fish float up to the top of the tank. The betta is not in pane I heard from this but it is defiantly annoyed. It happens usually in young bettas that eat to much brine shrimp so check if the food your giving it contains any. If your betta however is a two finned betta its probably because your feeding it too much
