I would start with repotting. Remove some of the soil around the roots and check for root rot. If there are any squishy mush roots remove them. Then I would replace some of the soil and make sure the pot has good drainages. Water with some plant food and clean the leaves with neem oil. Check for pest and use a pest aside if needed. That’s where I would start hope that helps 👍

This 100%^  
I’d recommend spraying a little 3% hydrogen peroxide on the roots as well

Repot if you can. If you can’t at the moment, tampon in the soil will help absorb the extra moisture.

Repot if you can, and while your repotting it, squeeze the soil that’s in the pot.

It helps to get all of the water out!
