a teaspoon of sugar followed by a glass of water, works everytime. i’ve found that just a glass of water doesn’t always work.
I always use a tablespoon of sugar. Tastes disgusting but always works.
Ugh. I get the hiccups really bad, and even if the go away, they come back again throughout the day.
My mom’s ‘trick’ (although it didn’t always work) was that she’d tell me that if I could hiccup 3 times before she counted to 10 (really slow) then she’d give me $1. It worked about half the time.
My trick that always works is to drink out of a cup backwards……..meaning take a sip of water form the opposite side of the glass! Works every time!
Hold my breath for a count of 10
If that doesn’t work, a spoon full of sugar does the trick!
I have no reply to this because I am very fortunate. I very rarely get more than 3 hiccups in a row.
My family believes that you can do one of three things:
1) hold your nose with your right hand and the lobe of your right ear with the other hand.
2) drink water from the wrong side of the glass.
3) lie down on the floor with your head to the east.
I’m in the spoonful of sugar camp. Works for me every time.
I have a spoonful of peanut butter. I have heard that a spoonful of sugar works too. But I stick to the sticky creamy peanut butter because it works like a charm.
I second TheMuttPrincess. Peanut butter does it for me.
I drink a glass of water up side down
Or i get someone to scare me. I have heard that works.
10 swallows of water. Works every time.
You will need:
I 8oz. glass of cold water,
1 other person to assist.
The person with hiccups needs to stand straight with back against a flat wall, heels to baseboard or bottom of wall.
Take a deep breath and hold; while drinking water steady with your arms straight up in the air. Of course, in order to do this, your assistant will have to feed you the glass of water.
Works every time.
Drink a glass of water upside down
Hold your breath and count to 30.
hears a couple I have read but never tried.
whistle in the dark
Put a waste paper basket on your head and have someone play a drum solo.
run over your toes with a skateboard.
I found all of these in a book about the simpsons so no guarantees they would work
I’m for the drink water “upside down”. You just bend you neck so you can drink from the far side of the glass.
Works EVERY time.
Except for that time I had the hiccups for 36 hours last year but I think that was a reaction to medicine I was on…
I control my breathing. I relax, meditate, and control my breathing. It works every time.
I hold the back of my neck while drinking a glass of water (forcing me to gulp the water). It’s an old remedy from my Dad’s Great Aunt, and it works every time.
(1) peanut butter works every time
(2) consentrate on the thought and emotions attached to the hiccup for 30 seconds
(3) ignore them.
