Hello! Thanks for putting your query in HCM. I am Dr.Amit Jain (DM, Gastroenterologist). I appreciate your concern regarding your father. There is tablet baclofen which I found very useful in my patients with hiccups. Also tablet metoclopramide. So You can give him one if not relieved then add another on also. I hope I have answered your query. If you have any further query I will be happy to answer that too. Wish him a good health
