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.
