Cures

Drinking something hot or really warm helps me. Or the old favorite of holding your breath. But the drinking something warm takes care of them everytime for me.

I had a pre-school teacher who taught us to take three sips of water with a breath in between each sip. It always worked for me when I was younger- probably something about helping to regulate the breathing pattern.

this is going to sound really strange but a lady I worked with told me when I get the hiccups to rub your earlobes with your fingers. both sides of your earlobes at the same time. amazing, but it works.

I don't get them very often anymore. When I do they hurt more than when I was a kid. I have always tried the holding my breath , but I will hiccup when I do that. I have been told to hold my breath while drinking water and this should stop it. So far it has helped. The cause of hiccups should be looked at though, there may be a problem that could be corrected so you wouldn't get them so often. Something is going on with your diaphragm and needs medical attention.

I don't know about others, but i would usually ask my huband to hug me really tight while i hold my breath for as long as i could. It works perfectly for my huband too. So whenever either of us gets hiccups, we would definitely do that method. Another cure that i've heard people often do is to drink plain water and try to hold your breath afterwards. But as for me, the first method is still the best so far.

I will give you lot of suggestions of getting rid of them. Repeated swallowing works for mild cases. Do this by holding your breath and repeatedly swallowing as fast as you can, or by slowly drinking down a beverage with as many swallows as is possible. It’s important that you hold your breath for as many gulps as you can. Placing a napkin over a glass of water canl help moderate your speed. Plug your nose and ears then swallow 20 times as fast as possible. If you notice a friend has a case of hiccups, it is believed that your can ’scare’ them away. Sneak up on them and give ‘em a good jolt (Be careful though ). What? They don’t have hiccups? Do it anyway! Relax, sit still and breathe in deep, slow, rhythmic breaths expanding and contracting your lungs completely. Distract yourself. Sing a song, go over your 7 times tables (7 x 1= 7, 7 x 2= 14, etc) until the hiccups are gone, Exhale completely and hold your breath for as long as possible. Squawk like a chicken while flapping your arms and bobbing your head as if you were pecking at something. Bugawk! Laugh. Think of something funny, or do something funny - see above. Eat a tablespoon of peanut butter. Stand on your head and drink small gulps of water from a sports bottle. Exaggerate your hiccups by inhaling right as you hiccup - this will result in a long and loud “huuuaaagggghhh” that’ll either be funny or embarrassing depending on your environment, but after 2-4 of these the hiccups should be gone. Take a shot of lemon juice. Let a teaspoon of sugar dissolve under your tongue. Think of the ugliest person you’ve ever seen. Now picture them naked, rolling naked down a hill or riding a bike and slathered in A-1 steak sauce. Eat some pickles. Think the alphabet backwards as fast as you can. Close your eyes, relax, still your mind and concentrate on nothingness until they’re gone.

hey then this is a problem why don't u consult doctor. he would come handy for the help. by the way u can also try this that u don't focus on hiccups till they come. don't pay more attention and don't think that hiccups r going to come then probably they will not come . have a hiccup free day.

I tend to do the same, I had a few today myself.

My favorite cures are a spoon full of sugar or a sip of dill pickle juice. They both work for me. If they don't stop after the first dose, do it again. Generally they do stop tho. I've found that 90% of my hiccups are because of an unconcous thing bothering me, and if I can verbalize the thing bothering me, then they go away.
