Once it gets overwatered, it must also be treated for infection. It will happen, almost, always once overwatered.

Only correcting the watering habits still leaves an infection that will continue to worsen, and grow inside the plant and soil.

Correcting with a fungicide will be your first line of defense. This article will help:

Once you take care of the infection, it will start to recover, but probably quite slowly. New growth will come out clean once the infection is gone. Old growth will not recover, but will not spread.
