scratchy throat for 2 weeks

So i was a smoker before i quit about 3months ago. But about 2 weeks ago i started getting a scratchy throat, it doesnt hurt when i swallow, i dont have a fever, and its on and off, typically worse at night, and in the mornings. I also cough up green phlegm, which in my understanding is a infection of some kind. Well this morning while driving to work, i got a bad cough, and vomiting. Thosr are the only symptoms, its better now, but i know it will pick up again soon. I need to know what it may be, some insight would help. Thank you

It could be a virus but since you have had it for two weeks it would be good to have a doctor listen to your lungs to make sure. Green phlem could be  a sign of bacterial infection.
