1. Drinking water
is one of the common ways to treat hiccups. You can try to drink some warm water slowly and swallow it several times. It can relieve the contraction of diaphragm and stop hiccups.
2. Holding breath can inhibit
breathing and slow down the contraction of diaphragm. You can try holding breath, pinching nose, blowing and other actions to relieve hiccups.
3. Deep breathing can
relax diaphragm and try to inhale and exhale slowly to make breathing deep and comfortable, thus stopping hiccups.
If hiccups persist or seriously affect the quality of life, you need to see a doctor and use medication, such as chlorpromazine, haloperidol, chlorzoxazone, etc.
