INFO : How to Get Rid of Hiccups?

iNSTRUCTION

STEP 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 three more times at 2-minute intervals if necessary.

STEP 2: Gulp down a glass of water if the sugar doesn't work.

STEP 3: Eat a piece of dry bread slowly.

STEP 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.

STEP 5: Gargle with water.

STEP 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 or drinking too much alcohol.

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.
