I would trim off the leaves that are severely damaged so it can focus on new growth. I’m sorry this happened, I’ve sunburned a monstera before too and it’s a bummer 😭

Ok will do! Thank you 😩

Cut off the yellow leaves. Keep the others for photosynthesis until new leaves can replace the damaged ones or until they start to die off.
