Everything that you are telling us indicates that the phone has been permanently water damaged and will need to be replaced.

Unfortunately, water damage is not covered by the AppleCare warranty

You can find a list of authorized services shops in your area using this link: Find Locations

Take the phone in so the shop can over your options with you.

It is not fixable. Liquid damage is not repairable. The phone will have to be replaced.

Sorry, but no one here will be able to five you a definite answer. The best you can do is leave it not plugged in and standing up so the charging port is facing down for 2 days. If you are able to charge it and power it on at that point, you may be in the clear.
