Drink a well carbonated soda as much as you can in one breath until you can't do it anymore. About 4 good gulps, and my hiccups are gone.
I also sometimes do this upside down too.
For real, I don't joke.

I have always suffered badly from hiccups, and have found this works for me, and for anyone else that has tried it too.
IT WORKS
Props - you need a nice glass of ordinary water.
plus a trustworthy person to hold the glass of water.
1) Plug your ears up with your thumbs (pressing in the small flap in front of your ear-hole)
2) Plug your nose up with the little fingers
(so you have each hand having the thumb in the ear, the little finger closing the nostril on that side).
Then you get the trusted person to hold the glass of water and you take tiny sips of the water, gulping it down and taking in no air. Continue as long as you have stored breath to continue taking the tiny sips.
I promise, it really works. I've never had a person fail to cure their hiccups with this.

Controlled breathing. Try in through the nose and out through the mouth, very deep breaths with everything else relaxed. Do it for about five minutes. If he's still hiccuping, reverse the order - in through the mouth, out through the nose.
Get him to stand with his head between his knees.
If all else fails, set up one stinker of a practical joke.

growing to be up I used to get the hiccups so undesirable I had to go away the college room - eating water the different way up constantly eliminates mine - I even have tried eveything interior the e book and it rather is the only element that consistantly worked. Bend over on the waist, then drink water from the alternative area of the glass which you mostly could. It takes some tries to get it precise, even though it nonetheless works for me! stable good fortune!

I cant remember what condition it is that you get when having hiccups for a long period of time but i suggest if he still has them u need to go see a gp, Ive just heard about it from a friend but forgot what she said her boyfriend had.

I had a school nurse feed me a teaspoon of sugar for bad hiccups, followed by a glass of water. It really worked, they stopped about 10 minutes later. I know it sounds like Mary Poppins, but it worked.

if you tried holding your breath and drinking water put his head in the bath and tell him to try to breath it will cure his hiccups but you will probably get life

get him to try and hold his breath whilst stretching his arms as high as he can above his head, for as long as he can. Works for me and most people I know... although I've never had them for 5 days on the trot.
Good luck.

a full spoon of sugar, then let him drink some warm water so the sugar won't get stuck in his throat and he'll couch up a lung or somethin.
