Got syrup in my iphone hearing part, and where the headphones plug in?

Yeah. I know. Weird, How did I do that? Well I work at ihop and did not have a case on my iphone and got syrup where I put my ear, and some in the hole where you plug in headphones or an aux cord… Both still work! It takes some pressure to plug headphones in, and when I'm on the phone I can't hear as well, its really dull. How can I fix this without drowning my phone in water? Or is it just ruined.

Best shot is turn it off. Then wash the heck out of it at the problem spots with ordinary rubbing alcohol. The alcohol won't hurt the plastic, is one of the best cleaners for electronics and should delute the syrup.
