If you are coughing up green or brown phlegm you most likely have bronchitis. It will not go away on its own, so you will need to go to the Doctor and get an antibiotic.
People do not develop a resistance to antibiotics, instead bacteria in the body resist the effects of the antibiotic. The bacteria changes somehow and instead of the antibiotic eliminating it, the bacteria survives and continues to cause harm and infection. Some bacteria neutralizes the antibiotic, others fight and flush out the antibiotic, and the others modify where the antibiotic goes.
