Patients need to relax, moderate breath holding, relieve symptoms. Patients can also massage the abdomen clockwise, according to the doctor's advice to use domperidone, mosapride, itopride and other prokinetic drugs for treatment.2, reflux esophagitis patients esophageal mucosa damage, gastric contents reflux upward, can stimulate the diaphragm, appear non-stop hiccups phenomenon. Lansoprazole, rabeprazole, ranitidine and other drugs can be used under the guidance of a doctor to inhibit gastric acid secretion and reduce gastric acid damage to the esophagus. If the patient is seriously ill, laparoscopic fundoplication can be performed if necessary. 3. The pia mater of meningitis patients is stimulated by inflammatory factors, which can stimulate vagus nerve, central nerve, etc., resulting in spasmodic contraction of diaphragm and frequent hiccups. For purulent meningitis, patients can be treated with cefotaxime sodium, cefuroxime sodium, ceftriaxone sodium and other drugs under the guidance of doctors.
