  1. 1)Holding your breath and repeatedly swallowing as fast as you can, or by slowly drinking down a beverage with as many swallows as is possible. It’s important that you hold your breath for as many gulps as you can.

    2)your can ’scare’ them away. Sneak up on them and give ‘em a good jolt (Be careful though ;)).


  2. *Repeated swallowing works for mild cases. Do this by holding your breath and repeatedly swallowing as fast as you can, or by slowly drinking down a beverage with as many swallows as is possible. It’s important that you hold your breath for as many gulps as you can. Placing a napkin over a glass of water canl help moderate your speed.

    * Plug your nose and ears then swallow 20 times as fast as possible.

    * If you notice a friend has a case of hiccups, it is believed that your can ’scare’ them away. Sneak up on them and give ‘em a good jolt (Be careful though ;)). What? They don’t have hiccups? Do it anyway!

    * Relax, sit still and breathe in deep, slow, rhythmic breaths expanding and contracting your lungs completely.

    * Distract yourself. Sing a song, go over your 7 times tables (7 x 1 = 7, 7 x 2 = 14, etc) until the hiccups are gone,
