I would try the Melafix.
Then, I would get one of the heater guards. If this happened once, it may happen again.
Good luck!!

Keeping the water absolutely clean, lowest possible Nitrates will help, too.

If you look here at the bottom of the linked page:

......there's a picture of the terrible trauma that one of Chefkeith's Clowns suffered. If you read on, you'll find how well the fish recovered. Within limits, healthy, well-fed fish have remarkable powers of recovery. But they MUST be given good conditioins in which to heal.
