My wife constantly has the hiccups and it's quite annoying. Our friends gave us a lot of tips but the tips don't seem to work. Help... anyone?

This method is tried and tested by me... I place an icebag on my neck (throat) area, rest for 5 minutes and the hiccup was gone...

Thanks for the tip. I'll get my wife to try it the next time she has the hiccups.

I don't really think there is a cure for hiccups except time. However as for tips that I've heard and tried: drink water, hold your breath, a teaspoon of sugar, have someone scare you, stand upside down on your head. Did you hear about the 15year old that started and hasn't stopped yet? She's been doing it constantly for over a year.

She tried everything, except stand upside down on her head. Thanks for the tip. Poor girl! Must be hard.

My methods works for me. First, drink water as much as you can until your hiccups disappear or hold your breath as long as you can until it vanished.
