iPhone in water

I dropped my phone in water five days ago. It wouldn't work and kept showing me the white apple screen then switching to a black screen and kept repeating that but I put it in rice and it turned back on. yesterday, after four days of working, it randomly turned off and won't turn back on. I had it in rice for another 24 hours and when I turned it on the screen showed the charge icon. I plugged it in and it started alternating between the white and black screen again.. Now it is just black. does anybody know how to fix this

iPhone 8 Plus, iOS 12

Water causes physical damage to electronics. So the only fix is to replace the damaged or fried hardware. You can get an out of warranty replacement from Apple for less than the price of a new phone.
