Windows 10: Keyboard keys not typing correctly

How can I fix my laptop keyboard that has accidentally spilled too much of my hand sanitizer on the keys? The computer works correctly and fine. Except for some keys such as letter k types 7 and letter I types u. I really need to fix this soon because I have a project to do which is due tomorrow. I've been trying to find ways to fix it but none work successfully. At the moment I'm using On-Screen Keyboard.
