How do i cure the hic ups?

Answer 1

Hold your nose and swallow 3 times

Answer 2

Hold your breathe while doing something that'll take your mind off things.

OR

Using both hands, hold out your index fingers and try to get them as close as you can to each other without actually touching them. After a while, you'll realise your hiccups have gone!

try a shot of malt vinegar, with a bite of cheese. works for me & tastes great !

1/2 tsp mustard seeds mixed with 1/2 tsp pure ghee and swallowed will stop hiccups.

Tip 3:

Pound 5-6 green cardamom. Boil in 2 cups of water. When it boils down to 1 cup remove, sieve and drink while warm.

Answer 5

Hold your breath

and

wait for the next one.

It usually doesn't come!

And if it does then keep holding your breath.

You'll forget you even had them!

Answer 6

close your eyes

and swallow 3 times whilst counting to 20 in your head it works for me!

Answer 7

try holding your breath. If it doesn't work the fisrst time, try doing it for longer the second time. OR have a sip of water. If you're supersticious, you could try saying the name of someone who might be missing you.

Answer 8

Breathe in and out into a paper bag.

Answer 9

Please don't laugh, this works about 80% of the time with me.

Put your fingers in your ears, blocking out sounds,ect. for about 30 seconds. Another way that works more often is, Let your mind wonder, in your mind, take a trip to anyplace you want. Enjoy the scenary, talking with others. Your mind is getting off the hiccups. Enjoy your short vacation... don't forget to come back home ..... lol.

Answer 11

"Take three deep breaths, and then on the third breath, hold it as long as you caI was told this by my anatomy teacher who says hiccups are nothing but your diaphragm having a spasm. So taking three deep breaths and holding the last one stretches your diaphragm, and therefore stops the hiccups. I have tried this many times, and it does work instantly."

Answer 12

Answer 14

Holbaku is right!

Get a desert spoon full of sugar and eat it it one mouthful.

By the time you have swallowed it all your hiccups will be gone!

This works on all ages but it's an idea to give a slightly smaller spoonful to a 4 year old!  ...and watch they don't choke!

Answer 15

The spoonful of sugar really does help, and the drinking the water upside down helps too.
