Question

How do you cure hiccups?

Answer 1

hold ur breath for like 20 sec

drink water

Answer 2

While I've tried several like drinking water upside down,and holding my breath.I think the one that works best is to scare the c**p out of the person that has them.Usually they forget they had the hiccups but watch out for flying objects.

Answer 3

Get someone to scare you.

Lay down on your back with a book on your chest and breathe slowly and evenly. It helps regulate your breathing.

Drink water.

Hold your breath for 20 seconds.

Answer 4

I've tried all the suggestions that have been listed so far.  The only thing that works for me is to either drink highly carbonated soda and burp, or if none of that is around, get a full BIG glass of water and just start drinking it down all at once, until you hear yourself gulping and running out of air.  Something about that forces you to burp, and it gets rid of my hiccups every time.

Answer 5

I'm glad you asked :)

First try gulping as much air as possible and hold it for a VERY long time.

If that doesn't work, try getting a mouthful of milk and put your head between your legs and swallow it.

Or, take a packet or Sweet&Low (or any other sweetener) and sprinkle it on the back of your throat and swallow.

Or, as a last resort, just try to keep making noise or talking so that the hiccups can't come up.

Or you could search for it on Google... ;)

Answer 6

hold your breath and every time you need to breath take a very very deep breath and then hold again... also i have heard that eating dill cures it.

Answer 7

My daughter used 5 or 6 drops of lemon juice for years, then a Sydney University years afterwards stated that their research confirmed it as the best solution. GOOD LUCK,
