What Cause Sore Throat And Cough Along With Constant Hiccups?

Hi Doctor. I experience persistent hiccups after having a bad cold. It started as a sore throat and I began to cough from time to time. After a day, the hiccups came. I was not able to have a sound sleep because they would come and go. I only drank water to address this.

Hi Dear ,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have sore throat and cough along with constant hiccups which is due to upper respiratory tract infection. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to consult ENT specialist for proper examination as infection has already spread. You should get throat swab test , viral culture test , complete blood profile to find out extent of infection.For now do warm saline gargles. Take steam inhalation , which will help alot . Take proper rest , keep yourself hydrated and do warm saline gargles . Maintain hygiene. Take diet rich in multivitamins. You should start with antibiotic such as augmentin along with decongestants and anti inflammatory such as Levocetirizine .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, cold and cough may not cause hiccup but the more common condition would be hyperacidity and it may cause the cough too, antacid is the drug of choice for hiccup it has to be contains local anesthetic, along with this Tab Omeprazole 40 mg Domperidone 30 mg once in day hope this information helps.
