After water damage my touch screen for my quickfire wont work!

when i was walking in the ocean at low tide i forgot i had my phone with me and i was walking through a puddle and it fell out of my pocket. I picked it up IMMEDIATELY.....it wasnt even in the water for 2 seconds. I immediately took out the battery and sim card and started drying all the water out with a shirt. I noticed the white spot in my phone turned pink so i ran inside and (found out after i did this that you arent supposed to) dried it with a hair dryer. Then i put it in a bowl of uncooked rice. I let it stay there over night and checked it this morning. This morning i checked it and it seemed like everything was working and i was so excited until i tried to press messaging (its a touch screen) . Should i let it sit in the rice for another day or another couple days? If there are any people really good with phones plz help.....my phone is brand new and I really like it!!
