Best Answer
Before you continue, make sure you read all of the links I have posted in this answer below. The most important link is this one, which indicates that:
The Solution Everyone Does
Everyone that I hear who drops their phone into water (either submerged into the toilet or onto their screen) does something like this:
Bottom line is, there is a 95% chance you won't be able to fix it. But try this, and you may be able to get it working at least partially. Make sure you take it an Apple Store first for advice. They may be able to let you replace it or at least charge a (somewhat) small fee.
Other Important Information Regarding Water Sensors
Apple has water damage sensors in their phone and if it is completely submerged, they will not replace your phone (probably). Submerging it into alcohol (see below) WILL trigger these sensors. Also, if your phone was completely submerged, the sensors would have already triggered. See this for complete information.
Risky Solutions
I'm going to list some solutions you can try (at your own risk). These are from people who have had similar issues as yours.
