The iPad jack got wet in my bag this morning. What should I do?

Hi everyone, something bad happened to me this morning. I went to the garage to get my scooter to go to school and noticed that my backpack was wet. I thought about what it could be and emptied the backpack straight away, but my iPad was already wet. I then went back home and took some paper towels and dried the charging connection very carefully and gently. I was careful that none of the paper got stuck. Then I carefully dried the jack connection. I know that it isn't completely dry, but my 8th generation iPad thinks that I have wired headphones connected and that's been the case for an hour. Is it broken now or do I just have to let it dry or is there any way to deactivate it?

PS: I have NOT connected the iPad to charge but it is switched on which I did this morning to check if it is still "alive"

Thanks in advance
