Initially I did think after reading pages of material that my phone was ruined.
So thinking that I had nothing to loose. So I took my back cover that unclips easily, took out the battery, and placed it by a oil filled heater and left it there overnight.
Before I did this, everything about my phone seemed fine. It was just the touch screen that was no longer responding.
And now? It works perfectly fine. I feel really lucky and I hope this helps someone else.
