Cathy Gianella, good thing you let it dry out. The first thing to do, or specifically not to do, is to continue to turn it on. I suggest you clean your iPhone according to this guide. Letting it dry out is good, but it will not prevent failure due to corrosion damage, down the line. After it is properly cleaned, replace the battery. The battery is available right here, as well as many other places. Here are the guides to work on your phone. Once you got all that accomplished, reevaluate for any further damage. Hope this helps, good luck.
