Hiccup Guide, Meaning , Facts, Information and Description

A hiccup is caused by a spasm of the diaphragm. The sudden rush of air into the lungs causes the glottis to close, creating the "hic" noise.

Home Remedies

• Drinking a glass-worth of a carbonated beverage with salt in it (to quickly balance out the potassium-sodium levels in the nervous system).
• Eating a tablespoon of sugar or honey.
• Gulping down a glass of water while holding your breath.
• Drinking a glass of water upside-down.
• Holding your breath while optionally squeezing your stomach.
• Breathing into a paper bag.
• Concentrating hard on your hiccup.
• Eating food.
• Being distracted from your hiccup, such as by being startled or asked a perplexing question.
• Urinating whilst drinking a glass of water.
• Drinking a glass of water while having someone press their palms against your ears.

Causes

The causes of hiccups are unknown, but they can sometimes be brought on by taking a cold drink while eating a hot meal, eating very hot or spicy food, laughing vigorously or coughing.

Hiccup is sometimes written as hiccough, though this spelling is becoming archaic.
