Is it really asthma?

I have been diagnosed with asthma . My peak flow is great and pulmonary function tests are good. I use Asmanex and Singulair and I do respond to broncodilators. However, I still cough up thick stringy yellow mucus. I always thought that if the mucus was yellow that indicated an infection. Is this really asthma or is it chronic bronchitis ?
