Just want to see whether there are better methods than mine.
 
Red cordial was one,my kids would know the others:)
Too much chilli makes me hiccup,yogurt cools it down.
 
Two tablespoons of Habanero Sauce. Never failed me yet.
 
Holding my breath was always good enough for me. Or push-ups while holding my breath. Or push-ups while holding my breath while on the rooftop of a moving vehicle. The usual method.

Weirdly, I’ve never really bothered to try getting rid of them… Maybe I’ll try holding my breath next time to see what happens.
 
Scientifically, hiccups are spasms of the diaphragm. As a professional vocalist, I was trained from an early age how to exercise my diaphragm.

Thanks to the interwebz, anyone can strengthen their diaphragm How to Sing Using Your Diaphragm: 10 Steps (with Pictures)

Once you know how to control this muscle, most of the time one can stop the hiccups by simply tightening and releasing the muscle (they way you would work out a muscle spasm in your leg or arm by stretching and releasing).

If the spasm lasts a long time, you may need to see a physician for muscle relaxers.
 
Thanks TLL.Is it common for our breathing to become a bit lazier as we grow older do you think?As in not breath as deep? Does singing helping breathing for running?
 
Well, because of a disability, I have never run once in my life 🙂 Deep breathing is very good for all of us.
 
Well, put a pencil in your hair on top of head. Drink a glass of water while holding head down, like upside down.
Scaring a person.
HMMMM
I would drink a glass of water while saying 25 Hail Marys. I can pray fast.

Really…
It’s spasms of your diaphragmatic muscle.
Lay down, Relax, take slow easy breaths. In 15 min, they should be gone.
Heat to your abdomen?
Drs can prescribe some meds that help.
In fact take a sleeping pill and go to sleep.

Growing up, we always had a spoonful of peanut butter to take away the hiccups, which was pretty effective and tasty.
 
Imagine Donald Trump, Hillary Clinton, and Nancy Pelosi coming to your house for dinner and staying to lecture you well past midnight on why you need to pay more taxes to support their pet causes. Should scare the hiccups out of anyone!!!
 
I take in a deep breath and hold my breath for as long as i can. That sometimes helps with me.
 
I just learned that trick a few years ago and it never has failed me!
