I accidentally got my Samsung tablet wet, and I think there might be water inside it. It's still functioning, but I'm worried about further damage. What steps should I take to avoid making things worse?

Keep that device powered off and definitely avoid plugging it in. Try placing a fan in front of it to help circulate air around the tablet for a few days. This can aid the drying process, and there’s a chance it may still work afterward.
First things first, stop using the tablet immediately. Unplug it, turn it off, and if possible, take the battery out. You want to make sure it’s completely dry before attempting to use it again. The best case scenario is that it dries out without issues. However, there's a chance it could be damaged. Given that it still powers on, you might face some screen damage that might impact the touchscreen functionality. Repair costs can vary, so proceed with caution!
