Water in speakers

my iphone 12 mini was in my pocket while I was in swimming pool (20 minutes max). I switched it off for 5 hrs then powered on once and then again switched it off for 24 hrs. I did not charge or connect any lightning accessory during this period. Water had entered in my speakers and they had a muffled sound so I used water eject shortcut and sonic app to push water out. But it is not working in the case of top/front speaker (the one that is used for calls). What should I do ?

Also the performance of iphone is not compromised and the bottom speakers are working fine (hopefully, is there any way to verify if the speakers are back to normal) but still I am afraid if the phone has been damaged. The phone is covered in 1 yr warranty as I had bought it in oct 2021.

iPhone 12 mini, iOS 15

Sorry, but the iPhone is not designed for swimming.

To prevent liquid damage, avoid these:

Swimming or bathing with your iPhone
Exposing your iPhone to pressurized water or high velocity water, such as when showering, water skiing, wake boarding, surfing, jet skiing, and so on
Using your iPhone in a sauna or steam room
Intentionally submerging your iPhone in water
Operating your iPhone outside the suggested temperature ranges or in extremely humid conditions
Dropping your iPhone or subjecting it to other impacts
Disassembling your iPhone, including removing screws

Minimize exposing your iPhone to soap, detergent, acids or acidic foods, and any liquids—for example, perfume, insect repellent, lotions, sunscreen, oil, adhesive remover, hair dye, and solvents. If your iPhone comes into contact with any of these substances, follow the instructions to clean your iPhone.
