Best thing for recovery is to not do anything. As odd as it may sound, most will either damage or kill sick bonsai while trying to save them. Trees in nature tend to recover on their own and bonsai are no different. I would pinch off any die-back, maybe give it a slight dose of fertilizer - nothing major - and leave it watering only when the top 1 inch or so of soil is no longer wet.
