My roosters sometimes have that. It's funny because they even get it in the summer when it's 50 to 60 degrees at night

. It usually goes away in a couple days and doesn't seem to cause and trouble

Something that helps A LOT is electrolytes (save a chick) you can buy it at your local feed store for about 50 cents.
Our polish hen got attacked by a raccoon and it rip the front of her opened. You could see some bone and she wasn't eating and barley drinking. So we decided to give her some of the save a chick and within the next two days she was eating, drinking and had a bunch of energy

The treatment for blue comb is the same treatment for canker. One 250 mg Fish-Zole (Metronidazole) tab 1x per day for 5 days and half a tab for Bantams.
