Are her scales raised, so she looks something like a pinecone?

A photo would help lots.

Sorry to say, this sounds like dropsy, which is fatal 99% of the time. The reason a fish swells like that with dropsy is that its internal organs have failed.

The only thing to try (and it didn't work with me when I had a platy with dropsy) is a bath of Epsom Salts, to try to draw some of the liquid out of her.

Try going to images.google.com, and search for Molly with Dropsy, see if it matches.
