Past couple months i have been feeling sick but not sick. there is a lot of phlegm in my throat and i am starting to cough a lot. what is this?

Valuation is best: It is best to see your doctor as they can do exam, evaluate and treat you properly. Coughing and phlegm don't always mean infection, could be allergy or if infection is mostly viral. But if it is getting worse, it is best to be evaluated for other things including asthma.
