i have been regularly washing my phone for years (iphone 7) and never have any problem by doing that, the phone often falls on hard surface and even have open crack on top right corner.

i recently got iphone xs from a friend, which takes much better care of his phone than mine it has no major scratch, dent whatsoever, thats why im confident to wash my xs.
but a few hour after i think my fifth wash, the screen occasionally show pink line, and when i check the wet indicator it shows red. and also fog in front camera, but other than that everything works fine. the pink line usually appear when i first pickup the phone, but after less than a minute of use the screen went normal. the worst is when i put the phone upside down for a while (in a car while plugged in for carplay) sometimes the screen goes full green but after a few press of the side button the screen went back to normal.
my question is, what should i do ? if i use it normally will it get worse ? i asked 3rd party technician and they said a screen replacement is needed, they sell what they claim is "apple orginal" for less than 100 usd which im skeptical of the quality.
right now i have 2 option, to replace the screen now, or wait until the screen is unusable. by replacing the screen im afraid that i would have lower quality screen (low res, low resp, thicker bezel ?) but by replacing the screen they might be able to clean of any residual water inside or should i just ask the technician to open, clean and replace the adhesive(will that help ?).
what do you guys think ?
thank you
