I agree with the suggestion for finding a voice teacher. They will understand the physiology of the voice and how it works. This is important for you to study - I think all vocalists need to do that! Stay hydrated, drink lots of water, and avoid mucous-producing stuff (like dairy).
Don't use mentholated throat lozenges; they will irritate the cords more. Don't "rasp" to try and clear your throat. If it doesn't "dislodge" easily, it may not be phlegm but something else going on with your vocal cords that is NOT good! Slippery Elm lozenges help. Warm liquids help.
A good voice teacher will help you to sound better, and to sing better and longer and healthier!
