Water behind MacBook Pro screen

My MacBook Pro recently got in touch with water because of a water bottle that spit out in my bag.

I don't think there is any internal damage since it's still working perfectly fine. Keybord and touchbar are both responding and I don't think there's any internal damage. At least that's what I assume for the little time I had my Mac turned on after my misadventure.

The only huge problem I can tell is that water got behind my screen as you can see on the picture. What should I do to get rid of it?

Thanks for your help!

Is there anything I could do to fasten the process ? When should I start seeing improvement ?

What's bad is that I can't see how it's improving without turning it on. When the Mac is off the screen looks perfectly fine.

Personally if that were my MBP, I would take it to the local Apple Store and have them check it out ASAP. Moisture and electronics don't mix. It causes corrosion which will in time lead to all kinds of strange problems. Hopefully it will still be salvageable by the techs at the Apple Store.
