The keyboard is typically the first causality in water damage.— I suspect it will get worse.

You can connect an external keyboard as a work around, while you still have functionality (wireless keyboard needs registering.)

Otherwise take it in for repair:

In or out of warranty you can get a free over the counter 'Apple Service Diagnostics' test /assessment

Make an appointment for a "hardware issue"—

If you have AppleCare+ it will cover a large portion of accidental damage.
