If it's your personal phone then dry it as best as possible and put it in a bag or box of rice for a week to 10 days.

If it is company issued then say a prayer of thanks that no one will disturb you till they issue you a replacement.

View all   To take care of that, fill a bowl with uncooked rice and bury your phone in it. ... You canalso fill a plastic baggy with silica packets (those little packets that you find in shoe boxes) and drop your phone in into it. Silica is a desiccant that sucks up water moisture, so it's perfect for drying a wet smartphone.

if mobile phones falls into water, you need to detach the battery first to avoid additional damage, next is to clean with cleaning solution (alcohol or thinner) and let it dry using hot air.
