a teaspoon of vinegar is supposed to work Report Abuse
How do i get ride of the hicups?
drink water
Hold your breath.
Drink a glass of water quickly.
Become frightened.
Use smelling salts.
Pull hard on your tongue.
Place one-half teaspoon of dry sugar on the back of your tongue. (You can repeat this process 3 times at 2-minute intervals. Use corn syrup, not sugar, in young children.)
One slightly complicated trick that works for me is this:
Get a glass of water, put a straw in it. Set the glass of water on a counter or table. Now tightly plug your ears, take a deep breath, bend over and take as long a drink out of that glass of water (through the straw, of course) in ONE BREATH. I don't really know why this works, but my theory is that it helps balance the carbon dioxide levels and air pressures on either side of your diaphragm. See, a hiccup is actually a diaphragmatic spasm. I also think that the bent posture helps relax the diaphragm as well.
what always works for me is holding my breath for a few seconds
hold your breath swallow 3 times with out taking a breath it really does work
massage your earlobes between you thumbs and index fingers
put something cold against your throat for a few minutes - a cold bottle of coke worked for me!!
