Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Read and understood your history and concerns.
The occurrence of excessive expectoration, inability to speak normally can be due to local problems like laryngitis or even cancer. This can be diagnosed by laryngoscopy and if required biopsy too.
Other reasons can be a neurological problem or severe infection in the chest.
I would advise you to have a thorough clinical check up by your Doctor, get referred to a specialist and investigated to get a proper diagnosis and treatment.
