Is there a way to get rid of hiccups? i know they leave by themselves but is there a way?

Question:

And no i dont want to get scared

Answers:
I saw an episode of Sesame Street where they told you how to get rid of hiccups. It has worked for 20 years for me. Put your fingers in your ears while drinking water. It is best if you use a straw. I'm pretty good at using water bottles. You will get a few looks that way though.

Other Answers:
grasp your tongue with your hand

plug your nose and gulp water and sugar or a spoon of peanut butter hold your breath for 10 min. : )

Hold your breath drink water and count to 10

Hold your breath after inhaling as deeply as possible.

Drinking a tall glass of water always seems to help me. a spoonful of sugar works for me

BOO!

Just kidding. Drink a glass of water without taking a breath until you start to feel like you're going to pass out if you hold you breath any longer. That's the only way I know, but it works every time. Or if you don't have water, just holding your breath sometimes works, but not as well.

put your head in a plastic bag and count to 10 or higher I just eat a spoon of peanut butter and that always works for me.

A method that ALWAYS works for me is to take a sip of water, bend over at the waist and swallow the water. Hold your position for a few seconds.. it should work! If not, drink more water! :-)

Prepare for one really hard and then it should go away

It's all in the mind. Get your mind off of it. When my kids have hiccups, I ask them why they stepped on the rabbit. They get to thinking about how crazy I am & forget about the hiccups. plug your nose and ear, and hold your breath as long as u can or
drink a lot of h2o

plug both of your ears while drinking water from a straw. Sounds weird, but it does work. I always drink a sip of hot water and i hold my breath

Alka-seltzer always works for me.

There are a few, but the efficacy is questionable.

Swallow hard.

Swallow a spoonful of sugar

Suck on a slice of lemon

Have someone pat you gently but quickly on the upper back.

Drink a glass of water very slowly

what works for me is..take a kleenex.not the perfume kind just plain and put it in a glass of water..drink the water straight down without a breath.DON'T swallow the kleenex tho..hope this helps.
