30-Second Hiccup Cure
Step 1: Start by inhaling through your mouth until your lungs feel full (when it feels like you cannot inhale any more). For overall best results, try to do this as quickly as you can. DO NOT LET ANY AIR OUT.
Step 2: Swallow. You are not really swallowing anything but it seems that without this act, it doesn’t work. DO NOT LET ANY AIR OUT.
Step 3: Now inhale some more. You don’t need to inhale a lot, but do get some more air in. It will start to get difficult to do this as you go, but keep trying. You obviously can’t suck in as much air as you did initially, but just a little will do (think of it as taking a “sip” of air). DO NOT LET ANY AIR OUT.
Step 4: Swallow again. This too will start to get difficult as you go. DO NOT LET ANY AIR OUT.
Step 5: Repeat steps 3 and 4 until you cannot swallow again. While it seems you can almost always suck in just a little more air, it is the swallowing that gets to be impossible. When you feel like you cannot swallow again, swallow again anyway. It will be hard to do, your face will probably turn red, and you may make squeaking sounds. But you CAN swallow one last time. By this time, your lungs should also be quite full and it should be difficult to get much more air in as well. While you should try not to let any air out, if you have really repeated steps 3 and 4 as many times as you can, you probably will end up letting a little out before you can take that last swallow. If you find that air keeps escaping out of your nose even early in the process, try squeezing it shut with your fingers.
Step 6: Exhale.

Get a friend to help you -- have your friend put their hands over your ears and press -- not super hard, but with pressure. Then you drink about 1/2 a glass of water without breathing or stopping. Wait just a few seconds after drinking for your friend to remove their hands -- and presto -- no more hiccups!

There are so many things that are supposed to cure the hiccups, but I really don't think any of them work.

Breath deeply & quickly, fill your lungs as quickly & fully as you can then blow it all out as quickly as you can. I do this about 10-15 times & am cured first time every time. It may make you feel a little dizzy so it's best to do it while you are seated.

I have always had success with just making myself belch a time or two until the hiccups stop.

Take one table spoon of Malt Vinegar! It shocks the Diaphragm; which shocks you out of hiccups.

Take a large mouthful of any cold non fizzy drink, put your fingers in your ears block out all sound, swallow slowly only unblock your ears after you've swallowed all the mouthful of drink. This works everytime.
