What do you do to get rid of hiccups?

Question

Really fast please.

I feel really silly rubbing a cotton swab around my mouth.... Wow, either it worked or they just went away, thanks to all.

Thanks to Dez, it really worked.

Answer 1

Rub the roof of your mouth with a Q-tip for a full minute. It REALLY works. I heard a myth that this was the method used back in the day in ER's.

Answer 2

There are a few things you could try.

1) Hold your breath for about 40 or 50 seconds
2) Drink a glass of water
3) Have someone scare the crap out of you

If none of these work, then you will have to wait until they go away on their own.

Answer 3

there are many methods to stop hiccups. the only one that works for me is holding my breath til I have to breathe or pass out. all the methods do basically the same thing...stop breathing.
all my son has to do is breathe through his nose. you could also drink a glass of water, usually upside down, suck on a teaspoon of sugar til it's dissolved, whatever to stop oxygen reaching that long muscle next to your esophagus that's jumping so annoyingly.

Answer 4
