Hiccups...?

Question

What is the best way to cure hiccups?

Answer 1

I've tried all the nonsense about standing upside down and drinking water or having someone scare you... and it's exactly that, nonsense. A few years ago a relative of mine read in a magazine that if you eat a spoonful of peanut butter, your hiccups will go away. We tried it, and believe it or not it works. It might seem silly but I promise you it works. Give it a try.

Answer 2

I would promise you, but I'm sure there are exceptions to every rule, that drinking water upside down works. I tried this the 1st time about 18 years ago or so and it has worked every time. Stand up straight holding the water,bend at the waist, turn the glass so that the top touches your top teeth and pour it til you are drinking it. Some people can't figure out how to do this, but the people I have shown, use this remedy when they have hiccups now too.

Answer 3

My brother told me if you eat a spoon full of sugar (sorry if that sounds like Mary Poppins) it makes them go away. It worked for me, but that could just be coincidence. Also, I find it works if you try to take evener breaths for a while.

Answer 4
