Title: Hiccup remedies please!
Post by Kris_in_SJ on Jan 8th, 2005, 7:56pm
Ok - it's probably the oldest question in the book, and it certainly doesn't compare to the old CH, but I've had the hiccups (sp?) for over 2 hours now.

Lay those remedies on me please!

Get a pint glass of cold water or anything with a big rim (no NOT the toilet!!!)
You need to do this leaning over a sink, now stick your chin in the water and drink from the far side of the glass. It is messy but it never fails for me!

From my Prevention Home Remedies book:

1. teaspoon of sugar
2. tablespoon of pickle juice or teaspoon of lemon juice

my experience with hiccups, i always had a large glass of water followed by a tablespoon of honey

Easier remedy:

Fill a glass with water.
Take a sip. Swallow.
Take a breath in, then exhale.
Take another sip. Swallow.
and so forth and so on, until you have taken nine sips.

Hiccups are caused by a spasming of the epiglottis. Swallowing, then breathing helps to regulate the opening and closing of it, thus ending the spasm.

Thanks all - except for you Eric *smile*

I'm off with a giant Margarita glass to hang over the sink and drink from the opposite side of the glass while gazing at a man with many tatoos and a bow in his hair.  I'll follow this with a teaspoon of honey.  If that does't help, I'll do the Jeep thing.  Wish me luck!

My old Russian Grandmother taught me this when i was young - and even though it sounds insane - it's always worked (and i've never hurt myself doing it)

Put a knife point up in a glass of water. Now drink the water while holding the knife against the far side of the glass (so you don't end up with a knife in your forehead)

A paring knife or a steak knife works best. Butter knives don't work and butcher knives are really dangerous for this.  :D

Another one i've heard is that yawning often stops them.

Good luck!

Simply inhale deeply and hold your breath. Try pressing your mouth & tongue together tightly. Hold it until it gets a bit uncomfortable. Works for me every time.

Or: Spend the day watching celebrity poker.  :o
