There is nothing else you can do but wait. However, please note, that unlike with straight up water (clear water) there will be a residue in the device, wherever the liquid went, even once it has dried out. This alone can cause problems. There is really no way to know the extent of the damage until the phone has fully dried. I would leave it at least 3 days if it already effected the screen, as that means liquid could have gotten in to a part you can't open up. It would then need longer to dry.
