Yes, coconut oil will help. Carefully clean off all stuck poop using warm water. If it is really stuck you may need to soak her bum in warm water, then thoroughly dry her (a hair dryer on low works great for this). Then apply the oil around her vent to prevent more poo building up.
You also should definitely feed her some of the oil. You can either chill the coconut oil and feed her pieces of it, or if that fails, liquify it and mix it with some food. Make sure she is drinking. Dehydration will make the constipation worse. Feeding her wet mash (her regular food soaked with water to make an oatmeal like slurry) will provide her with extra water and be easier for her to pass. Finally, if the swelling is persistent, some people use hemorrhoid cream dabbed around the vent.
