Spill on Macbook Air

I accidentally spilled some Powerade on my 2020 Macbook Air keyboard. It was only a few small drops, and I wiped it off immediately, but I'm scared it might damage my laptop. Should I be worried or is it okay??

Get this Serviced:

Get this serviced by an AASP (Apple Authorized Service Provider). They'd recover the data, and create a backup for you, and would provide you with a new screen (for a price).

Contact an AASP:

Go Here: Find Locations - Apple Authorized Reseller
Click: Service & Support
Enter: your location information
See: if there is an AASP nearby
Contact: an AASP that shows up, and find out more about the services that they offer to fix the Mac

Or...

Get a New Mac:

Know that getting a new LogicBoard and Screen, may cost the price of a simple Mac (4GB RAM and 128 SSD).
