Keep swallowing repeatedly, trust me it works, even if a little bit of air or spit, but keep swallowing they will go away.

hold on your nose while drinking water or hold your breath for awhile

Hold your breath and count as long as you can.

get someone to scare you

My daughter takes a cup of water and places a paper towel or napkin over it. Seems to help. Also when I scare her that really helps. And it's funny too.

Hang your head off your couch or likewise and drink a full glass of water while upside down. This will force you to swallow air, which is probably what gave you the hiccups in the first place, causing your heart to skip another beat and relieve you of your hiccups. Good Luck!

Hold your breath, breathe into a paper - stress- paper bag. Get someone to frighten you. Your diaphragm muscle is having a spasm. Holding your breath attempts to keep it in place so that it might settle. For a good laugh, look up the longest recorded bout of hiccups in the Guinness Book of Records, you'll be amazed, and possibly thankful.

drink water.or simply c a scarey movie,it will b gone b4 u notice it.

Hold your breath

This never fails.

Take a deep breath then hold it in. Don't breathe out, breathe in some more and hold it and breathe in some more and hold it and breathe in some more and hold it until your lungs are bursting.

Now breathe out and don't breathe in and hold it. breathe out some more and hold it. Breathe out some more and hold it.

Repeat until your hiccups have gone.

1) Drink large amounts of water at once. (In one breath)
2) Hold your breath.
3) Hold your breath, raise your arms and try to touch the sky. Count to 10 and then breathe again.
(FOLLOWING ONES IN THE BOOK OF BART =D )
4) Put your elbow in yoru mouth and hold it there fore 30 minutes.
5) Hold your breath adn while you're holding it, drink an entire 8 oz glass of water without stopping to breathe.
6) Turn your pockets inside out.
7) If that doesn't work, turn someone else's pockets inside out
8) Place a wastebasket over your head and have someone play the drum solo from "In-a-gadda-da-vida"
9) Eat a spoon full of sugar.
10) Have someone run over yoru toes with a skateboard.
11) Get nose-to-nose with someone you dislike adn stare at him or her for 15 minutes.
12) Put ice cubes in your shoes and walk backwards in them for 36 paces.
13) Think of three bald men.
14) Put a bunch of potato bugs in a sack and tie it around yoru neck with a string.
15) Stand on your head
16) Accuss the victim of something he or she has not done
17) Breathe into a paper bag
18) Bungee jump
19) Pour salt on your tongue (I myself have heard of chili, wasabi, or pepper as great substitutes)
20) Bite your thumbs and blow hard against them for one minute
21) Write "I will not hiccup" 50 times on a blackboard
22) Whistle in the dark
23) Eat 10 candy bars. Who cares if the hiccups don't stop?

Eat a spoon full of sugar, if hiccups continue eat one more spoon full, if this fails check with a doctor. Try It. I saw this on a sign in a hospital in London. It really words.

Hold your breath. When you have to breathe, breathe through your mouth. Also drink water.
