Is my macbook water damaged?

my trackpad on my macbook air has been really weird lately...when I move my mouse it highlights everything and sometimes doesn't click anything (just highlights when im not clicking)...it all started when I took my macbook into the bathroom to listen to music while having a shower...but also I clean my screen with spray and got that on the trackpad...could my macbook be damaged?....your answers would be much help

Oooo... non-waterproof electronics don't like either of those things.

If there is water damage, you need to turn it off for 1-2 days at least to make sure it's thoroughly dry on the inside. If there's water in there while it's getting power, the risk for damage is much greater.

If it's not ok after that, get it to your nearest Genius Bar. Tell them your trackpad isn't working. Don't mention water damage or they may not look at it since water damage voids the warranty. If there's water damage, they will see that when they open it. If you just have a wonky trackpad, then they'll deal with that... but if you mention the water, you'll send them in a different direction, possibly for no reason.
