Today while I was charging my Xiaomi Redmi mobile, some water seepage into the mobile occurred by mistake resulting in the sound getting cracked and the ringtone also becoming almost inaudible. Please help me to find a solution.

It’s very unlikely that I can help if the hardware itself is damaged by to the water seepage. You might want to consider visiting the nearest service center.
