Can my coriander recover?

#Coriander

I may have mistaken caterpillar dung for aphids and sprayed with heavy vinegar. Now my coriander is not doing well (~2 weeks after spray).

How can I help them recover? Brand new to gardening here.

Also how many hours of sun should it get?
8โ€ pot with drainage

Our Cilantro/Coriander that we grew we had in a flower bed facing Southeast. It would get about 6 hours of full morning sun and thrived. If you want to keep cultivating cilantro and it starts to flower/ go to seed just pinch off the feathery top. It's the part that doesn't look like cilantro leaves at all. The feathery part doesn't taste very well either. If you want it to go to seed to cultivate the coriander just leave it alone and let it flower and then dry out the seeds. We had let ours go to seed, just left it alone and a good wind came and blew the seeds all over the yard. When the grass grew we had random plants mixed in with our lawn. We didn't even have to plant it. Both pictures look like it's already trying to flower and go to seed so I'd either pinch that feathery part off, because a plant will die after its flowered and created seeds or just leave it alone and let it do its thing. I would definitely get some more seeds and replant more of it. Plant a whole bunch of it! Just remember to snip the feathery part off of the plant if you want to keep the plant producing cilantro.
