That's a serious problem.

Frequently liquid damage cannot be repaired since, if the liquid went inside the device, many internal components might be affected (electrical shock/corrosion).

Yes, I suggest that you make an appointment (*) and have your device inspected at an Apple Store or AASP (Apple Authorized Service Provider) among this list:--> Apple – Location Selector. After checking it out, they'll give you all the available options.
