Not much you can do, apart from cleaning out the water from the inside... The easiest thing to do right away is to put the phone in a jar filled with rice overnight -- rice does an amazing job absorbing moisture. Another option would be to use a hair dryer, as there is a chance that water didn't manage to get inside, so you might be able to just dry out the USB port opening. But you might have to open your phone up, and clean it up manually.

P.S.: Using WD40 also crossed my mind, but I personally wouldn't do it on electronics like a smartphone... Although it's really effective at displacing water in electrical power circuits, and it doesn't conduct electricity.

my mobile is charging when it is off, is there any chance of hardware damage ?
