What is the real way to get rid of hiccups?

Question

You know, hiccups. You get them either when your nervous or drunk, etc. You know what I'm talking about. I've heard of so many ways I'm getting hiccups. Please help me out; this is kind of getting ridiculous.

Answer 1

Open your mouth over someones ear. (preferably someone you arent very comfortable with) Stare at their ear with your mouth open for a while... it works!! :)

Answer 2

Step one: Hold your breath as long as you can. If you hiccup while holding your breath, don't let the air out. When you can't hold it anymore, let the air back out, slowly.
Step two: Take another deep, slow breath.
Step three: Repeat until hiccups are gone.

It has always worked for me, although my brother always drinks on the opposite side of a glass, which always works for him.

Answer 3

either have someone scare you, or drink a tall glass of water without stopping for air. Or hold your breath long enough until the hiccup passes.

Answer 4

If you are in front of people stand up and say "I am going to hiccup" otherwise if not tip your head back and take a big drink of water. Good luck

Answer 5

This always worked for me. Two teaspoons of sugar followed by a 12 ounce glass of cold water

Answer 6

the way i always get rid of them is to tip my stand up bend over and drink a bottle of water upside down. You dont have to drink the whole thing but a good gulp of it should help!

Answer 7

I hold my breath while taking tiny drinks of water. Keep holding and drinking until you can't take it anymore. You might have to do it a couple of times in a row.

Answer 8

Take a teaspoon of sugar and swallow it with a glass of water - that works for me anyway.

Answer 9

Try a spoon of peanut butter. It worked for me.

Answer 10
