These contractions of your muscles are not harmful but they can be annoying if prolong for a long time. so, maybe you are desperate to know handy remedies for hiccups.
Try these tricks,
Swallow something sour
Take a teaspoonful of vinegar. Its sour taste could stop a hiccup in its tracks.
Swallow something sweet
A spoonful of sugar is a popular hiccups cure because its graininess could slightly irritate the esophagus, causing the phrenic nerves to “reset” themselves, although there is no proof of this
Try some chocolate
Eat some powdered chocolate drink mix (cocoa or Ovaltine) right off the spoon. Swallowing the spoonful isn’t easy and should cure the hiccups.
Use paper towel
Place a single layer of paper towel over the top of a glass, then drink through the towel. You’ll have to “pull” harder with your diaphragm to suck up the water, and concentrated gulping counteracts spasmodic muscle movements of hiccups.
Lick a little honey
Put 1 teaspoon of honey, stirred in warm water, on the back of your tongue, and swallow it. Like dill, honey could potentially tickle the vagus nerve to make the hiccups stop.
Sip some hot sauce
This probably works because the heat and burn are distracting enough to turn your body’s focus on the burn, instead of the hiccup process.
