Turn off the computer. It needs to be inspected by an authorized service center. Liquid damage is often extensive and ongoing due to corrosion.

I spilt a drop of tea on my MacBook keyboard Most of the tea went under the keys, but like about 3 tiny tiny drops of tea. I'm starting to worry the tea might get into my actual computer. Immediately put my MacBook upside down and tried to blow it all out. Used a tissue to dry up excess anywhere, and used a microfibre cloth to try and get to difficult places. Please can someone tell me if this is something I should really look into, or is this a lesson learnt with a lucky miss of damaging my Mac? I would highly appreciate a direct answer, rather than links to an apple support site.
