HELP..Betta is sick

Question
My daughter's beta Pescow is ill. He isn't eating and the left side of his face and eye look swollen, his lips look upturned and his scales near the face seem to be turning white. Please help, we don't want him to die!

Answer
Hi Frances,
  Have you been doing regular water changes on his tank?  You need to change about 20-50% of his water once a week, every week to keep him healthy.
