How do you get rid of hic-ups?

Answer 1

Drinking a glass of water usually works.

To stop hiccups lie down on a sofa or bed. Get a glass of water and lie upside down on the bed or sofa. Drink the water upside down. ( You can also tilt your head backwards but lying upside down usually works better) Hope that works.

Opinion: I usually drink out of the carton of milk. It worked for me

Hiccups are caused by sucking in air to quickly so you change position to stop them. It is easy.

Answer 2

to get rid of the hiccups you need to get a glass of water, then get a napkin and cover the glass of water with the napkin. then slowly tip the glass with the napkin into your mouth and slowly drink it. THIS REALLY WORKS! trust me i had a bad case of the hiccups and my step brother told me it. TRY IT

Answer 3

Take the second hand of a clock and place it in your mouth. then you hang upside down from a set of monkey bars and insert a tube down your throat. Pour as much water as possible into the other end. the second hand can be used as a knife incase you feel like your going to die. stab yourself. its easy. If you experience hiccups often you may need to move near an elementary school that has a good set of monkey bars. I really hope this helps you. it ALWAYS works for me.

The top answer is wrong. Half a spoon full of peanut butter should work. It has always worked for me anyways. Don't do the peanut better thing if you are allergic to peanuts.

I get someone to put their hands over my ears and push slightly (just so my hearing is muffled) and then drink some water. (about half a glass to a full glass). This works every time instantly!

*************************************************************

Okay so, get a cup and fill it at least halfway with water. Take a spoon (this will also work with a butterknife or a fork!) and put it in the water so the handle is sticking out. put the spoon handle on your tongue and drink the water with the handle still on your tongue. Remeber to hold the part of the spoon so that you don't choke and make sure the cup is tall so you don't have to stick the spoon all the way down your throat! This works everytime for me and my friends and family! My source is my teahcer who teacher told the whole class this.
The way to get rid of the hiccups that always works for me and my friends is really easy and simple and gets rid of them right away. Take a small cup and fill it with water and then bend over and drink the water from the side if the cup opposite of you. This works like instantly!

My math teacher taught me this trick, but if you try to hiccup 3 times in 30 seconds that usually gets rid of it for me!

• Swallow a spoonful of sugar or
• Take 7 quick sips of warm water or
• Hold your breath for 15 seconds

drink water or soda always help me
You can try to drink water. If that doesnt work, then try to take deep breaths, very slowly. It will expand your lungs.
Get someone to scare you when you least expect it or hold you breath for about 10 seconds (i find that holding my breath doesnt always work)

Answer 4

1) Take teaspoon and fill in with white sugar.

2) Take one drink of water and IMMEDIATELY swallow the sugar.

Eighty percent of the time it worked the first time.

Twenty percent of the time it worked the second or third time.

Always worked.
