I've been dealing with a really bad cough and a lot of phlegm for the past couple of days, and my throat feels really scratchy. Could you suggest what might be going on or if there's anything I can do to feel better?

That could be Pharyngitis or Bronchitis which is causing phlegm,do salt water gargling twice daily and consume warm food.
