Battery stuck on 0%

AC Question

Hello!
So, dropped my phone in the toilet (only half way submerged, USB port was on the side that didn't get wet) and my phone was unresponsive for several days. I put it in rice for like, 4 days.Yesterday my phone started registering the fact that it's plugged into the wall, but it's not charging. It's been at 0%. So, its off, but when yoh press the power button it shows the %. I've had people tell me that it is just super dead from trying to fix itself (for a few days prior to this, it was stuck on the start up screen) and to just let it sit plugged in for a few days. Is that correct? I'm abroad and I leave my current destination in a few days so I really, desperately, need a working phone. I have a huawei honor 8 lite, for reference.
