Techniques Using Drinking Or Eating
5. Drinking Water
Perhaps the simplest technique to cure hiccups that involves food or drink is drinking water. From a glass of water, take around ten quick gulps in a row. The gulping action causes the esophagus to contract rhythmically. This could counteract the hiccups coming from your diaphragm.
If this doesn’t work, you could try sipping the water through a straw instead. Here’s the twist: Plug your ears with your fingers while sipping the water. Doing this puts pressure on the vagus nerve, while also getting the effects of rhythmic swallowing.
