hi
injury or resection of the vocal cords, these are the problems more commonly encountered,
please take him to a speech therapist, who make them get adapted to several self accomodating exercises for phonation & speech.
he should be careful also during swallowing due to the risk of micro-aspiration , because of the inadequate closure of the vocal cords.
please go for repeat direct laryngoscopic test,with an ENT speciaist to find out for any newer problems on the vocal cords.
all the best
take care
