I went through a poddle

I have a 2003 honda civic LX with a 1.7Liter. I also have a cold air intake. i recently drove though a foot deep puddle in a very low speed. By the middle of the puddle my car started to lose power and then die. At first i though maybe the muffler fulled with water and didnt let it breath. but then when i started to turn it over, it wouldn't fire up, and there was also smoke coming out of the muffler. i guess it had to have had water in the motor so i waited a bit then tryed it again but this time with the accelorator down. it struggle a little but then it started to idle. The only problem now is that now i have i ticking noise. As i rev it up it get louder and faster. i know going though a puddle with an intake is bad, but do you know what i could do?
