Water intrusion is often fatal and not covered under iPhone warranty if your phone is still covered under warranty. Let it dry (don't put it in rice as that's an old wife's tail, which is ineffective), but be prepared to either purchase an Out of Warranty replacement phone or a new phone depending on what you'd rather do.
