hiccups are caused by irritation of diaphragm/stomach/throat and sometimes cause by during nervousness or excitement and are generally caused by eat too much or too fast.
people generally hold breadth and count till 10-15 to get rid of them. i generally put some sugar in my mouth. some people even recommend to scare the person with hiccups.
well i don't think above method will work for everyone, and there is no scientific proof(as per my knowledge). do try them and select one which is most effective for you.:D

Take two table spoons of sugar when you get the hiccups and you will find the result immediately.

It's a spasm of the diaphragm. Try taking sips of water ... slowly. Sometimes deep breathing (not holding your breath) helps.
