How Can Hiccups Be Stopped While Suffering From Fever And Cough?
My old man is 82 this year. He had low fever a week ago and constantly coughed. He is now admitted to tb hospital but the doctor hasnt yet figured out the problem. He coughs now, severely and consistantly even with the help of the meds. Moreover, he’s got hiccups for days and it tires him out all night. We had scanned, x-ray, checked the heart, the lung, the blood, urine, but there is nothing wrong with those. What should I do to at least stop his hiccups?

Hi,
You can try drugs like Baclofen to stop hiccups after discussing with your physician.
You can consult with a physician and get evaluated to find out the cause for hiccups, we have to rule out neuromuscular causes which can cause hiccups.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
