My three year old son comes to me..uncomfortable. It takes me a minute to discover he has a bad case of the hiccups. "Mommy, my hiccups are hurting me" I gave him a drink. I don't have the heart to try and scare him. And I have rubbed the tummy downward. I am out of ideas..

The only thing that's ever worked for me is clenching a pencil in my teeth and drinking water at the same time. Holding breath has never worked for me.

My family has always done a few different things...we drink water through the next hiccup, get scared, stand on your head holding breath or breathe into a paper bag. If none of those work for him I am not sure what else to try! Best of luck to your little guy!

A spoon of White granulated sugar can help.... or try some sugar water might help if that doesn't. I hope it works.

give him granulated sugar and ask him to chew sugar without biting it with teeth.
or u can give yogurt mixed with 1 spoon of salt. mix properly salt in yogurt and when it dissolved,ask him to take it with a spoon. soon hicups will gone away.
if again hicups comes or if he has more hicups,consult any doctor. may be he have some other big health problem.

This discussion is 5 months old, hope he is cured now, drinks, lot of water helps, it has many other reasons too, many remedies.
A sudden jerk on the neck to divert attention helps, eating sugar or dry molasses without sugar helps, i had hiccups non-stop , for days, reasons could not be known, but licking a mixture of honey with ash of burnt peacock feather helped me lol.
