SoulSearcher Posted February 5, 2009 Report Share Posted February 5, 2009 you need a sugar hit....  have a teaspoon of straight cordial that should sort them out....works for me :P    or  http://www.pharmeasy.com.au/healthinformat...ses/hiccups.htm   A common condition which involves short, involuntary intakes of breath.  What to look for  repeated, involuntary short intakes of breath.  Hiccups (involuntary spasms of the diaphragm) are usually a minor annoyance and last only for a short time. They can affect anyone, and most pregnant women will tell you that they have even felt their unborn child hiccup in the womb.  Causes  It is caused by an irritation of the nerves of the diaphragm usually because they have been irritated by indigestion, carbonated drinks or eating too quickly, not chewing the food and swallowing properly.  Traditional Treatment  Most cases of hiccups will usually only last for a very short time. However there are numerous remedies for this condition.  Convention medicine is not needed terribly often, but if a case of hiccups fails to stop after a day, a visit to your Doctor may be a good idea to rule out disease-related causes.  Alternative/Natural Treatments  Herbal Therapies - To stop the hiccups, herbalists recommend warm chamomile (Matricaria recutita) tea, which is said to act as an antispasmodic agent. Another remedy that may bring relief is a tea combining 1/2 tsp of tinctures of peppermint (Mentha piperita) and boneset (Eupatorium perfoliatum) with a few drops of cayenne (Capsicum frutescens) and the juice of a quarter lemon in 1 cup hot water.

You will need professional help to ensure that you get the right medication in the right doses. Spasming of the diaphragm may be eased by Ignatia, Cuprum metallicum, or Nux vomica.

(see our section on aromatherapy).  Personal Care  Most doctors believe that high blood levels of carbon dioxide inhibit hiccups, while low levels will aggravate them. Here are some other remidies that may or may not work for you.  Place a brown paper bag over your mouth and breathe in and out for a minute or two. You will be breathing in your own carbon dioxide which should help your hiccups. Be sure NEVER to use a plastic bag.  Hold your breath and swallow at the same time you feel the urge to hiccup.  If your child has the hiccups, tickle him gently while instructing him to hold his breath and not to laugh.  Hold your breath and count to ten.  Drink a teaspoon of raspberry cordial with no water. When to seek further professional advice  your hiccups persist for more than a day;  hiccups and fever occur after major surgery in the upper abdomen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teddy Posted February 5, 2009 Report Share Posted February 5, 2009 Here is one that works for me, all the time. Â Get a cup of water, take a mouthful, swallow one lot, then put another cup full in your mouth, bend over as if your touching your toes, and swallow it slowly over about 10 seconds, wilst bending over ! Â Its always worked for me :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rollapv75 Posted February 5, 2009 Report Share Posted February 5, 2009 (edited) My previous job was Night Manager at a pub in the city so I have the necessary expertise to answer this one!  As someone else said, shot of raspberry cordial sometimes does the trick.  The method I swear by (similiar to what Teddy mentioned) is to pour a full pot of tap water, bend over forward as if you are touching your toes, and drink the whole pot of water from the OUTER most edge of the glass. Obviously, when normally drinking a glass of water, you tip the glass up towards you, do the opposite and tip the glass AWAY from you.  They refer to this method here, look for 'Drinking Water Method 6': http://www.wikihow.com/Cure-Hiccups#Bartender.27s_Remedy  Good luck with it. Hiccups suck, esp. when you are out on the town, as they take away from quality drinking time!  Sam.
