United StatesTurn it off and let it dry out for 24 to 48 hours. If it still behaves irratically afterward, then you'll need to replace the phone. Mouthwash is not a neutral substance, and all the artificial flavors and sweetners leaving residues and such probably fried some stuff out.

Also try putting the phone or any electronic device thats been wet in a bag of rice, the rice will draw the moisture out of the device. Worked for me when I sat my phone on a window seal under a condensating air conditioner on a hot summer night.
First you have to wash away any contaminates. Use distilled water, then maybe a quick rinse in rubbing alcohol to absorb some of the moisture and carefully shake out excess and blow dry with a hair dryer on low or let air dry by an A/C vent, etc. Then pray.
These guys can all probably give you better advice, when I dropped my phone in ramen noodle juice I wasn't so lucky to have it still work, I ended up getting a wanna be brand of my previous phone from asurion, the cell phone insurance people, and let's just say that phone was a piece of -blam-. I now have a pretty cool phone, Alias by Samsung. But my brother dropped his phone in a cup of water, he managed to blow dry it, but it didn't stay alive much longer.
once i left my phone in the wash and then it was in the dryer so i put under a lamp over night then put it in a nag of rice. i had to get a new battery but when i did the phone was still working
