Question:

Other Answers:
Hold your breath.

Hold your breath or sip water.

My teacher once told someone to have a friend hold a thing of water (or something else) over your head and then you won't hiccup because you want to have it all over you

get an 8 oz glass of water, pinch your nose shut, & drink it straight down.. this should cure your hiccups!

Try drinking from the top edge of the glass. It sounds wierd, but it works for me!

It sounds silly.but I was told (by a family doctor) that the best way is to drink a sip of water while holding both arms up in the air.all at the same time(do not swallow the water until your arms are raised).it really works!

you sing the hiccup song from The Big Comfy Couch, seriously it works, i sing it all the time !! it never fails

Swallow a spoonful of sugar.

Hold u'r breath w/o hiccuping while not breathing until u cannot anymore. They SHOULD be gone then. lol

hold your breathe for ten seconds and drink lots of water. or do what my mom does to me, she would yell at me and would make me scared and my hiccups would stop. =D

about 1 teaspoon of peanut butter (creamy or chunky) works every time!
