Hi, I am Suffering from high grade fever (102-103) for past 2 days. Fainted with low BP (90/60) on 8th Oct and was given diclofenac injection for body pains. Started with IV fluids, paracetamol and antibiotics (MonoCef) since then. Headache, 4 vomiting yesterday along with prevailing low BP. Malaria, Dengue, HCV, HbsAg were -ive. CBP, LFT, BU/SC, SE were normal barring Hb level of 11. Since yesterday, I am having periodic episodes of continuous hiccups which has been very discomforting. Currently, I am hospitalized and Baclofen is being used for the hiccups. It seems to give temporary relief but whenever I ingest any liquids or solid food, the hiccups resume. Remedies like drinking water from the far side of a glass are working occasionally. What has been causing these hiccups? Are there any other ways to control it? Do you recommend any tests to help diagnose the hiccups?

YOur hiccups can be side effects of the medicines you take and baclofen is good for hiccups Techniques that stimulate the nasopharynx and the vagus nerve, which runs from the brain to the stomach, and can decrease hiccuping: Drink a glass of water quickly. Have someone frighten you. Pull hard on your tongue. Bite on a lemon. Gargle with water. Drink from the far side of a glass. Use smelling salts.
