Hi,
Based on the history you have shared,the hiccups could be due to irritation of the diaphragm muscle. If drinking water helps then try taking it in some large amounts and antiemetic and gas medicine can also help. if still problem persists then consult your physician for muscle relaxant prescription.
Wishing you a speedy recovery Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
