What is d best method to prevent hiccups ..........?

Answer 1

I can't tell you what to do to prevent them, but I can tell you what has worked for many years, on my children, and grandchildren, to get rid of them....A tablespoon of honey.  Sip about a third of it at a time.  Don't drink anything til you are sure they are gone.  Very rarely one tablespoon doesn't work.  Then take a second one.  If you don't like the taste, hold your nose.

I have also used plain sugar, when I didn't have honey.  A rounded teaspoon should be enough.  Just mix about 1/2 of it with the saliva in your mouth, then swallow, then the rest of the spoonful.  Good luck!

Answer 2

Hiccups are caused by swallowing too much air. So if you swallow air while drinking or drink something bubbly (pop) you can get them. Hope this helps, and good luck!

Answer 3

1. Remember to chew your cud slowly. Count until 32 before you finished the morsel.

2. Drink plenty of water (4 to 5 litres daily).

3. Exercise. Walk. Breathe in the open air.

4. Dont lie on your backside (in bed).

5. Try not to snooze during the day. Sleep should be reserved for night time.

6. Do not overeat.

Answer 4

This one works for me every time....1 tsp of sugar.

Answer 5

If you are ill see a doctor or pharmacist. If your condition is too trivial to bother your doctor or pharmacist with then it's too trivial to take medicine for.

Answer 6

Don't swallow air while eating.  Second way:  think about your mental state and try to curb your enthusiasm and anticipation or positive anxiety when you are in a position to get hiccups.  They stop after relaxing and drinking water.  Do not aspirate fluids up the nose.
