I've heard of holding your breath, and chugging water, but those only work sometimes. What always works?

-Repeated swallowing works for mild cases. Do this by holding your breath and repeatedly swallowing as fast as you can, or by slowly drinking down a beverage with as many swallows as is possible. It’s important that you hold your breath for as many gulps as you can. Placing a napkin over a glass of water canl help moderate your speed.

-Plug your nose and ears then swallow 20 times as fast as possible.

-If you notice a friend has a case of hiccups, it is believed that your can ’scare’ them away. Sneak up on them and give ‘em a good jolt (Be careful though ;)). What? They don’t have hiccups? Do it anyway!

-Relax, sit still and breathe in deep, slow, rhythmic breaths expanding and contracting your lungs completely.
Distract yourself. Sing a song, go over your 7 times tables (7 x 1 = 7, 7 x 2 = 14, etc) until the hiccups are gone,

-Exhale completely and hold your breath for as long as possible.

-Squawk like a chicken while flapping your arms and bobbing your head as if you were pecking at something. Bugawk!
Laugh. Think of something funny, or do something funny

-Exaggerate your hiccups by inhaling right as you hiccup - this will result in a long and loud “huuuaaagggghhh” that’ll either be funny or embarrassing depending on your environment, but after 2-4 of these the hiccups should be gone.

-Take a shot of lemon juice.

-Let a teaspoon of sugar dissolve under your tongue.

-Think of the ugliest person you’ve ever seen. Now picture them naked, rolling naked down a hill or riding a bike and slathered in A-1 steak sauce.

-Eat some pickles.

-Think the alphabet backwards as fast as you can.

-Close your eyes, relax, still your mind and concentrate on nothingness until they’re gone.

I dnt knw which one of them are the bst but they surely work...and hey some of them might sound funny..but trust me it works.

Hope u stop having hiccups..
cheers

The first way is to get a mouthful of water and then put your head way down forward (upside down) and swallow the water. Another way is to open your mouth very wide and stick your tongue out as far as it will go. Hold your tongue out for about 30 seconds. Hold it this way long enough to break the hiccup cycle. Good Luck.

Drink water slowly and steadily out of a cup upside down. By this, I mean drink from the rim of the cup facing away from you by leaning forward. I learned this trick from my grandfather when I was little, and in my experience it works 100% of the time. I actually have a friend who licks sugar off of a lemon to cure her hiccups - you could try that too.

I've found that sitting calmly & taking in a deep breath through your mouth, then SLOWLY let it out through your nose as you count to 30 in your head works the majority of the time.

Hold your breath for 30 seconds always works for me.
