Cameras foggy after phone drowned in pool water

Foolishly, I tried taking underwater photos in the pool with my iPhone 13 Pro (the internet said I could, but in hindsight it was not the best idea). A few hours later, my front-facing camera and two rear-facing cameras were foggy. I have had it in an airtight container with damprid for hours each day and night to see if I can get some of the condensations out with some luck in the back cameras. The front-facing camera is still really foggy.


72 hours later and the phone is still working perfectly fine other than the cameras. Is it worth getting it dried by a professional repair place, or is my phone a goner? What are the chances the cameras can be fixed and my phone will continue working as normal?


Thank you for any and all advice.

iPhone 13 Pro, iOS 16
