Mist the leaves with water, and give it a good watering session (regular temperature or ever so slightly cool water; no drastic temperature changes because that can cause shock.) If any leaves are about 70-80% burned, you can cut them off to help the plant prioritize healthier leaves and new growth. Proceed from there with regular care, just protect it from heat (stressed plants can go down one level of lighting; reduced light for a week or two can aid recovery.) Plants like sounds and vibrations, so play some music to cheer him up. You can also exhale on the leaves whenever you walk past to give him a little extra co2 to breathe

Chop the mostly burned leaves. Move it out of direct sunlight. Don’t keep the soil wet, they like to dry out between waterings and like being snug in their pots. It will be a long recovery but it’s possible
