Beta fish with tummy bulge

I bought male betta fish 6 months ago from pet shop. I notice that his neck and/or tummy part started to become big 1 to 2 months ago. Currently, it is swollen to a extent (looks like balloon fill with some fluid) that he cannot swim straight. Also, he cannot remain straight in the water while he is not swimming, because of big swollen part. His eyes are popped out and he does not eat also. I will appreciate your help in saving him. I went to pets mart from where I got him and they suggested to use Aquarium salt. I am using it but looks like no luck. Help!
