I had a serious case of the hiccups yesterday which afforded me the opportunity to try out some of the "proven" remedies that I posted last week from the New England Journal of Medicine. Tickling the roof of my mouth where the hard palate meets the soft palate didn't work. Placing my finger in my ear didn't work. Since I was out and about when the hiccups struck, I didn't have a teaspoon of sugar with me in order to try the third method. I think I will start carrying a packet of sugar with me just in case.
Please post any treatments that you have had success with, since my hiccups lasted over twenty minutes this time I am desperate to find an effective remedy. Hiccups can be so annoying!
