How do you deal with an hiccup ?

Tweet

I was coming to work this morning and heard on the radio and heard that hiccups originate from the diaphragm.It was the first I am hearing this explanation and was similarly shocked to hear that an hiccup can last for days.We have all had hiccups from time to time but how do we deal with it ? I found it amusing at times during the radio program to hear of some of the ways people deal with hiccups.Some of the ways were to let someone scare you ,drink water from the opposite side of a cup,eat some sugar and put a moist string on your forehead. How do you deal with hiccups ?
