You need to keep a phone in rice for at least a week or more, and put the bag in a nice sunny spot to heat the bag contents up. But if a Pixel is sealed phone, that makes it a bit tougher to do. Rice works best with removable battery cover.
Well, if it were MY Pixel, and warranty did not cover water damage, I'd look for a YouTube video on how to disassemble it, and bag it in rice for a couple of weeks... But that's me.
And I hope you flushed first, salt will definitely do more damage in a shorter time! Worth a try, I fixed an HTC Desire that completely submerged in a toilet for almost 30 seconds :)

Oh, and considering how much a Pixel costs, again if not covered by warranty I'd still dismantle it and bag it up. A new touch/digitizer surely costs less than a whole new one. Can you send a pic of the bleeding screen you're speaking about?

A screenshot is captured at the software level; it's not going to show any indication of the hardware display damage you are experiencing.

No one here is going to be able to effectively guide you through exactly what components will need to be replaced. A competent repair person would need to actually open up the phone in order to determine the extent of the damage. I'd take it to a repair shop - but keep in mind that it may actually be a better idea to just replace the phone. With water damage, the big problem is corrosion, and that corrosion may not make itself apparent for many months after the phone went swimming. Unless the entire phone is completely disassembled and thoroughly cleaned it is quite likely that you would just have more problems with it later on.
