How to get rid of Hiccups?

Answer 1

Drink ice cold water with your head facing upward (at a 90 degree angle). Keep drinking until they stop.....

Answer 2

This may seem odd, but this really works. Lay on the ground, lift your shirt up above your stomach. Be sure your bare stomach is touching the floor (rug). Right before your next hiccup, take a deep breath and hold your breath as long as you can. Your hiccups will be gone.  

Answer 3

Hiccups are basically your diaphragm (a muscle below your lungs) cramping. For me, I take in as much air into my lungs as possible, and then hold my breath for as long as possible.

Answer 7

Hiccups are merely psycho-somatic try to see what it feels like to hiccup.  If that doesn't work, actually try to hiccup without forcing yourself, see what makes you hiccup.  If those don't work there are home remedies such as:

    * Hold your breath.

    * Drink a glass of water quickly.

    * Become frightened.

    * Use smelling salts.

    * Pull hard on your tongue.

    * Place one-half teaspoon of dry sugar on the back of your tongue. (You can repeat this process 3 times at 2-minute intervals. Use corn syrup, not sugar, in young children.)

Answer 8

My best tip to get rid of hiccups is to fill a cup with water and then try to drink it upside down. Bend all the way forward and put your lips on the OPPOSITE side of the cup that you normally would, and tilt your head forward so you can sip from the cup.

By the time you finish drinking from the cup, your hiccups are gone.

The way it works is that when you have the hiccups, you need to sort of "reset" your diaphragm muscle, and doing this will make that happen!
