Remove the battery and place the phone in a jar of dessicant (uncooked rice works fine) for a day or two. This will draw the moisture out. Do not be tempted to power it on to test how it's doing!

When it's thoroughly dry you can try it again and see whether it's OK. No promises though - water damage can be insidious.
