OOPS!!! I am having tough time because of these hiccups…. I tried sipping water, still no use. Thought, drawing attention towards something else would help, but that’s not helping either…. Need some advice, how to cut these hiccups down….

@Aansh13 I'm glad. Hiccup happens once in a while to me too. The best is when it stops.

Hi there! Well, here in the Philippines, we have different ways on how to stop the hiccups. For babies, we take a loose yarn from the baby's blanket, lick the yarn to make it stick on the baby's forehead. I'm not sure but it seems to work. For adults, someone should give you a fright. You can also eat sugar. However, what really works for me is water. Sipping won't work, though. You will need to take big gulps. Good luck!
