Your iPhone has water damage, you have make an appointment and bring it to an Apple Store to evaluate.

No other way. They will probably want to swap the phone out for you for a fee of some sort of course. I wouldn't suggest self repair because at this point you really don't know what the issue is. Maybe its something to do with the speaker, or maybe the logic board is damaged.

If you think the phone might still be a little damp or wet inside, try putting it in a bowl of rice for a day. The rice may be able to suck out the moisture which could possibly be causing an intermittent issue.

This problem occurs when i charge my phone and then when i switch off my phone it automatically restarts instead of switching off and when i try again for the third time it switch off itself and while it restarts the speaker problem appears and then it gets rectified by itself

Like I've said, take it to an Apple Store. It won't be better over time only get worst. It won't be cheaper either.
