If two repair centres couldn't fix it, it is doubtful that you can but you can only try.
The impurities in the water causes corrosion and provides circuit paths for the electricity which were not in the phone's operating design and could damage the components. The corrosion starts immediately and is ongoing until it is completely cleaned away
First do not try to charge or to turn on your phone and then remove the battery as soon as possible from the phone to minimize any further damage.
Then you need to dis-assemble the rest of the phone and clean all the affected parts using Isopropyl Alcohol 99%+ (available at electronics parts stores) to remove all traces of corrosion and water. If possible do not use "rubbing alcohol" as in some cases this is only 70% IPA or less, can contain additives which may leave conductive residues and is not as effective. If you do have to use it check the label to verify the amount of IPA. The higher the percentage of IPA the better
Here is a link that describes what happens. Electronics Water Damage
As always with electronics, especially surface mounted pcb be gentle when handling and especially when brushing away the corrosion. You do not want to remove any components from the board. Remove the shields that may be covering some components as the water may have got in under there. The ends of any flex cables and their connectors need to be cleaned as well
Hopefully after you have done all this the phone might possibly work correctly again.
Here is a teardown video that will help.
If this doesn't work then there's not much else you can do. Hopefully you have previously backed up the phone before it was water damaged, to the cloud or a computer so that you can load your saved data into a new phone.
Remember to dispose of the water damaged phone responsibly. The environment will thank you for doing this

Many thanks! Your tips and the teardown helped me a lot. I was able to fix mine.
My phone(Poco F5) got wet and sim networks stopped working and also fast charging and the charging speed was too low. I dried the phone using silica gel and now after 4-5 days the phone is working fine in all aspects except the slow charging problem. That still persists, I am told the sub-board needs to be replaced.
My question is do I still need to be cautious about corrosion?
Corrosion if it exists is ongoing so unless it has been removed it's a gamble. It may not cause anymore problems or the phone may start to have more and more problems as time goes by. become
Replacing the sub board will at least allow the phone to be inspected for any evidence of corrosion and if there is any the phone can be cleaned at the same time.
Getting the sub board replaced as soon as possible may be the best option
