But it may be dangerous if it occurs for a longer duration of time and may indicate an underlying medical condition and requires medical attention. A toddler may experience hiccuping if he or she inhales a lot of air or eats too fast. Certain other factors which can lead to hiccuping include intake of carbo...more

Only 2 remedies have I ever know to actually work. The first listed makes the most sense, since a hiccups is simply a spasm of the diaphragm, and you need to disrupt this spasm. The second offers no rhyme or reason, but works nonetheless.
Breath in as deeply as you can, then exhale as hard as you can; repeat 10 times; when exhaling the last time, keep the air pushed out, not taking another breath for as long as you can stand. This normally works the first try, but repeat if necessary. Be sur...more

You are sitting with a colleague and all of a sudden you hear that 'hic' sound and you try to pass it off in good humor, but it just doesn't end and there is that 'hic' sound again and not only it is increasing with each passing second it also becomes louder.

A classic hiccups cure involves eating a big spoonful of peanut butter. In the process of chewing and getting it off your tongue and teeth, your swallowing and breathing patterns are interrupted. And hence, the hiccups will be history.
Or
peel a small piece of fresh ginger and chew on it slowly to get rid of your hiccups.

Holding breath, drinking a glass of water etc. You can consult me for more doubts regarding this online by clicking on my photo and booking an appointment however, if you foun...more
