Suggest Treatment For Persistent Hiccups

Try these physical maneuvers.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thank you for using HCM to post your health query.
Sometimes it needs a bit of time and they go away by themselves.
If they don't though, then best way to stop them it is by physical maneuvers which include:
-- Interrupt normal respiratory function (eg, breath holding orValsalva maneuver)
-- Stimulate nasopharynx or uvula (eg, sipping cold water, gargling with water, swallowing a teaspoon of dry sugar)
-- Increase vagal stimulation (eg, pressing on the eyeballs)
-- Counteract irritation of the diaphragm (eg, pulling knees to chest, leaning forward to compress the chest)
Try these and let me know if they worked so I can recommend medications or other advises.
Regards,
Dr. Papaqako
