I accidentally dropped my iPhone 11 in the pool for about 1.5 seconds and retrieved it right away. After that, I noticed some vertical lines on the screen, so I turned it off. After waiting for about 10 minutes, I powered it back on, and it seemed okay for a couple of minutes before the screen went completely black. I turned it off again and let it sit for 24 hours. Now it seems to be working again, but it gets really hot after just a couple of minutes of use. What should I do next?

Those vertical lines suggest that water has compromised the seal on your phone, which means it's likely not water-resistant anymore. My advice would be to take it to a repair shop as soon as possible. They will need to open it up and clean it with isopropanol to prevent further damage from the pool water. Don't wait too long!
How much should I expect to pay at a repair shop for this kind of service? I want to avoid getting ripped off.
