Hiccups solutions!

Hiccups are common and harmless, usually stopping after a few minutes. Chronic hiccups that last days, months, or even years may indicate a serious underlying disease. To cure your hiccups, try any of the following.

  • Hold your breath for as long as possible. Repeat until the attack stops.
  • Hold a paper bag tightly over your mouth and nose, and breathe in and out several times.
  • Drink ice-cold or hot water.
  • Eat crushed ice.
  • Gargle water.
  • Sit down and lean forward, pulling up your knees to compress your chest.
  • Consult a doctor if the hiccups become a chronic or disturb eating, sleeping or work.

  1. mm..i’ll try the “hold ur breath” tip!!

  2. An MD buddy says to open a packet of sugar, pour on tongue, and swallow. The grains will irritate the nerve that causes hiccups, thus “short circuiting” the reflex. Try it.
