Suggest Remedies For Persistent Hiccups And Tingling Mouth

My husband has had hiccups for 5 days now off and on. They only go away after he feels like he is going to vomit. Mouth tingles and fills with saliva. Once he spits it out the hiccups go away. This happens whether he eats anything or not. He has only eaten yogurt, fish and oatmeal for the last 5 days and it still isn t going away. Any suggestions?

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of persistent hiccups and tingling mouth (paraesthesia) usually in nerve like injured ,damage or diseased nerve or some times compressed nerve.These symptoms can also occur due to some medical condition involving nerves like diabetic neuropathy , neuropathy ,multiple sclerosis or other nerve dysfunction condition.

Psychological condition like stress and anxiety can also cause such symptoms .Treatment involve the treatment of underlying condition.

I would suggest you to consult oral maxillofacial surgeon as well as neurosurgeon without any delay for proper examination and to rule out serious conditions like stroke .Doctor may order MRI along with other test and treat it accordingly . For now maintain proper oral hygiene , go for oral prophylaxis and do warm saline rinses .You can also start taking multivitamin supplements.



Hope your concern has been resolved.
