How many days should I leave
I dropped mine in a toilet in canada once.
Left it in rice, also found lots of those "DO NOT EAT" silicon things which soak up damp.
Left it for 3 days also try under warm lamp.
Came back to life!Still going strong, it's an iphone 4 too! ancient.

It's difficult with iPhones, but dismantle it as much as you can, pop it in the rice bag or, as @mands says, a selection of silica gel sachets, and put it somewhere warm. Airing cupboards are perfect if you have one. 24 hours is a bare minimum, but 72 hours is better. Any more than that and it's unlikely to get any drier.
Whatever you do, don't turn it on when it's damp as it's the water getting into the circuits that kills phones.

How many days should I leave my iPhone (which fell in a puddle) in its rice bag before giving up on it or opening it up and trying various things what I read on the internet?
FFS, I should stick to edible apple varieties, and not own expensive Apple electronics that I will ultimately break and not be able to replace.
