=>some of those "silica gel - do not eat" packets around, put them in a
=>toaster oven at minimum temp for 10 minutes, then put them in a sealed
=>container with the phone.  (No point in this if it's still obviously
=>dripping.)

I would just add that since it's already wet, the appropriate thing to do 
is to soak it again in distilled water. When it dries all of the residue 
of whatever is in there will be removed.
