Hi,
Liquids and electronics do not mix. Especially when there is also power involved. Your sister may be lucky that initially there may seem to be nothing wrong but that doesn't mean to say that there will be no further problems.
Putting it in rice is not a solution to preventing damage caused by liquids. The proper method is to disconnect the power source i.e. remove the battery and then clean and dry the complete phone, inside and out using Isopropyl Alcohol 90%+.
Rice is good to eat but does nothing to prevent corrosion inside a phone. The corrosion is caused by contaminants in the liquids reacting with the metals inside the phone. Even water (except distilled) has various 'elements' always in it (whether deliberately added or not - think chlorine, fluoride, natural minerals etc), and they all react in some way with different metals, even more quickly when coupled with electricity.
There may also be component damage. As most liquids are a conductor of electricity, if liquid has entered the phone, due to the liquid bridging components, there are paths for the current to flow between components, that were perhaps not designed to be electrically connected to each other or to possibly carry that amount of current.
What you should do if you wish to 'save' the phone is to take it to a reputable, professional phone repair service to have it inspected for any damage and if necessary properly serviced to ensure that there are no problems in the future.
