I Have An Explosive Cough That Feels As Though I

I have an explosive cough that feels as though I am choking on something. Cough medicine doens't seem to do anything for it; drinking milk when a spasm is just starting helps some.
My throat is getting sore, but I think that is just because of the force of my cough. I had pink eye for several days shortly after the cough began, but it seems to be clearing a little.
The cough has been going on for 10 days.
