if you hold your nose and drink water and then swallow the water and let your nose go they most of the time go away

Believe it or not but a drink of Malox will work. My grand-father had the hic-ups while in the hospital and they could not get rid of them for nothing. He kept asking for Malox and they never gave him any. A few weeks later I went and picked him up to take him home and he told me to stop at the first store and get some Malox. He took one drink and the Hic-Ups STOPPED!

old family cure for hiccups, try a teasepoon of vinegar.always worked in my family!

1 teaspoon of sugar always works for me

[Gonzo]

Chew a couple of sticks of gum for awhile, always works for me.

The best remedy is matches and a small glass of water. Lite the matches and throw them in the glass. Then chug the water without eating the matches!!!!! Kids dont try it by yourself. I used to be a bartender it works.

Hiccups are somehow related to an imbalance in the diaghram tension, below it and above it being different and the hiccups are trying to re-balance the forces on it.
CURE: Take a deep breath, keep sucking in until you cannot possibly get any more air in your lungs. HOLD IT as long as you can. When you can't hold it any longer, start to pant little teeny breaths to allow you to hold this tension on the diaghram longer. Hold for about 1-2 minutes. If they're not gone, repeat. Never fails...and no Johnny Cash music is required.

I use a similar method. Take a very deep breath and then while holding your breath take ten or twelve very small sips of water.
Works for me every time.

I have had them for 12 days now. Would be nice to find a way to stop them. Nothing seems to work.

Dennis - try chewing a couple/three pieces of gum at the same time. I swear it gets rid of my hiccups. It may take a little while, but just keep chewing, eventually you'll burp up that trapped gas.

maybe the little Piglet should stop eating so fast?
