guaranteed! A tea spoon of sugar on the back of the tongue. The sweetness relaxes your muscles in the diaphragm and throat and thus stops the hiccups.

Hiccups are treated medically only in severe and persistent (termed "intractable") cases. Haloperidol (Haldol, an anti-psychotic and sedative), metoclopramide (Reglan, a gastrointestinal stimulant), and chlorpromazine (Thorazine, an anti-psychotic with strong sedative effects) are used in cases of intractable hiccups. In severe or resistant cases, baclofen (an anti-spasmodic) is sometimes required to suppress hiccups. Effective treatment with sedatives often requires a dose that either renders the person unconscious or highly lethargic. Hence, medicating singultus is done short-term and is not a situation where the affected individual could continue with normal life activities while taking the medication.

Fill a small cup with water. Put your mouth on the opposite side of the cup. Lean over a sink or a bathtub (just incase you spill a little) and drink upside down. I have no idea why, but this has always worked for me.

I have heard of alot of suggestions but none that work all the time with everyone. (1) drink a tall glass of cold water (2) have someone scare you without you knowing it (3) hold your breath as long as you can (4) as you drink your glass of water hold your nose. Hope at least one of these helps!@

Hold your breath until you are just about going to gasp then drink just a little bit of water, then exhale and breathe normally. What this does is cause your neck and lungs to relax and stop the spazim. WORKS EVERYTIME IF DONE RIGHT.. :-)

This seems to work for me: drink a glass of water without inhaling.
