Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Continue hiccup could be due irritation of diaphragm, and the most common cause of it is hyperacidity and it can be managed with antacid that have the local anesthetic effect, beside this it can be neurological in origin and in such cases surgery is the option, there can be numbers of reason for the hiccup, and all that needs to be differentiated, because underlying cause of this is matters.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
