What is your "remedy' to get rid of the hiccups?

Answer 1

Nancy, it's Dianne.
As a nurse, i can tell you.
Take a teaspoon of sugar on your tongue. Swallow it slowly, like over several minutes.

I know it doesn't sound like a good idea on a diet, but it works.

Answer 2

I don't know how bad your hiccups are,but I usually just hold my breath and drink a whole glass of water and then there gone.

Answer 3

Everybody knows that theirs is the best.

This is a bartender remedy:
Take half a glass of club soda, pour some bitters in it, stand up, sip it from the glass backwards and count from 10 to 1.

Answer 4

I laugh so hard, because I don't get normal hiccups. Mine vibrate against my vocal chords and they are sooo loud. I think I could enter Ripley's Believe it or Not. If there's anyone within a 1/2 block they laugh at me and then say, "Are you alright???"

Laughing hysterically.

Answer 5

this works for me everytime. it doesn't always work on the first time, but if you do it a couple of times, it should work.

1. sit very still

2. hold your breath for about 10 seconds (I usually do the 1 1000, 2 1000 thing)

3. Let the air out very slowly.

like i said, works for me everytime
