How do I get rid of my hiccups?

A cure that usually works well is to eat a spoonful of sugar. I know it sounds Mary Poppins-ish, but from what I've seen, it works most of the time.

Hello jeffreyb721! The technique I use to rid myself immediately for hiccups is to simply mask your nose and mouth with your own hands then breathe normally, make sure you breathe the air you have expelled because the carbon dioxide gas will serve as the treatment. Another technique is to breathe through a paper bag. It works for sure. Drinking about 1-2 glasses of water could be of help too, but not that quick. Happy MyLotting!

Hi jeffreyb721, I will swallow mouth full of water, but not sip as usual several times to get rid of the disgusting gas in the stomach. It is unbearable to let the hiccups to disturb me. It would distract my attention either on my work, reading, watching tv or any other thing else. It works well to remove the hiccups Happy new year 2011

Get a tall glass of water. Hold your breath and take 9 or more swallows of water before breathing again. Works everytime.

Drink plenty of water.
