Water damage...everything works but touch screen?

Wife dropped phone in pool. Got it out quick and all buttons and ports seem to work fine. Except the touch screen isn't working so can't get out of lock screen. Any advice out there?

Phone needs opened and cleaned out especially with chlorine water..

Do not try and dry it or use rice this will speed the corrosion process..

Motherboard needs cleaned with ISO alcohol then you can dry.

Reassemble and check for damage if touch is still not working the water has damaged the screen .
