hicups cure?

Answer 1

The cause and function of hiccups has baffled medical practitioners since the days of Hippocrates. Although no one has figured out the exact science behind these "abrupt diaphragmatic contractions," we have come up with a few home remedies that might be able to help.

Steps
1. Swallow 1 tsp. white table sugar, dry. A study found that this stopped hiccups immediately in 19 out of 20 people. Repeat up to 3 more times at 2-minute intervals if necessary.
2. Gulp down a glass of water if the sugar doesn't work.
3. Slowly eat a piece of dry bread.
4. Breathe in and out of a paper bag. Do not use a plastic bag under any circumstances, and don't do this longer than 1 minute.
5. Gargle with water ('Gargle').
6. Repeat the above steps until your hiccups stop.

Tips & Warnings

-Keep in mind that hiccups can be caused by eating too fast and subsequently swallowing a lot of air.

-Drinking too much alcohol can also be the cause.

-See a doctor if you have severe pain, if your hiccups last longer than a day (or 3 hours in the case of a small child), or if they started after you took a prescription medication.

Answer 2

I usually find that swallowing something large (but not too large that you'll choke) without chewing would get rid of it.

Just pop a chunk of bread in your mouth and swallow. No chewing. Have a glass of water afterwards and that'll stop them.

Answer 3

Press the center of your tongue against the roof of your mouth, as hard as you can, for as long as you can. This should overcome the spasm.

Answer 4

reglan or metoclopramide 10 mg dose, preferably IV
