Liquid got into my phone and the screen is going crazy (ghost touch) - is this fixable?

[Android Central Question]

So, earlier today, liquid got on my phone screen by accident. For the first few hours everything was alright but then suddenly the phone crashed and didn't turn on for a few minutes, then the ghost touches started happening once in a while, and then - it started being completely uncontrollable. You almost can't do anything because of how crazy the ghost touches are. Will this fix itself at some point, or do I have to go get it fixed by professionals?

Anytime your phone has water damage, you have to turn it off until it is 100% dry. If the phone is on, the water will cause your phone's internal components to short circuit & fry. There is a slim chance you may be able to save it if you turn it off, put it in some silicon packs & let it dry out for days. Unfortunately, chances are the damage has already been done.

Shut it off and leave it off for a few days, it might dry out and work properly. Some places won't even repair a water damaged phone as there's no way to know how much damage was actually done, you may be looking at buying a new phone.
