Raysagem i beg to disagree with you.
Liquid damaged phone can be repaired but not using your usual house appliace... eg leave it to dry in the airing cupboard or dry it with a hair drier.
Speed is the factor as after a week has gone past the chance of recovery slims down to 50/50
Two weeks and its only 25% chance after that its the luck of the draw, as corrosion start to damage the components.
What you will need is an ULTRASONIC BATH and a chemical.
you also need to strip down the phone to bare motherboard.
If this sounds too much your local phone repair shop could do that.

Take back off - take battery and SIM out and leave all bits in a nice dry place for a couple of days so the moisture is removed.

Put phone back together and recharge the battery

Let us know how you get on

There's no cure, sorry. Water and electrical devices whether AC or DC do not go well together, if you took all the removable pieces away from the phone and dried it the best you could, and it still doesn't work, it probably will never work, it will just get worse with time.

Say a few nice words and give it a decent send off.
