Android Central Question

I dropped my phone (Samsung Galaxy J7 )in water and i dried it off before it got too soaked, i went to hit the power button to put it in sleep/rest mode so the water on the screen wouldn't activate the digitizer.

after i dried it off and opened it up it said not charging unable to charge use original charger (i ONLY use my original charger) and i used some tissue, ear swabs and blowing in it to clear the water out of the charging port but the notification wouldn't go away.

UPDATE: I restarted it and plugged it in, it works just fine
