brownish green  sounds like infection but that is obviously under control now :-) Perhaps you have allergies draining into your lungs to still give you white productive cough. Senega and Amonia is good expectorant to help with chest muck. Have you tried an antihystamine for allergies for a few days to see if things improve. There are many other 'asthma' type drugs in place of Singulair that would probably work for you and would be less trouble to obtain....that is infact that you do have asthma and not just congestion of the lungs! If you are not right soon i would ask to see lung specialist, can't go on like that. A simple spyrometer test in the drs rooms would rule asthma in or out.
Good luck and don't leave it any longer if you are no better.
