Hiccups are caused by the contraction of the diaphragm muscles, this goes on repeatedly and in sequence and sound is normally produced. In severe cases, pain may be experienced. This causes a lot of discomfort to the chest and the vocal cods. Hiccups can be cured by taking deep breaths as one stretches out the muscles.
Drinking cold water reduces hiccups by drinking in gulps and relaxing. It is vital to keep warm during cold weather as pneumonia also causes hiccups. Avoid eating very hot foods and eat at the correct timings. On the contrary, food should not be too much spiced. Experts have also come up with a curative method whereby one who experiences the hiccups gets frightened by another person. This is believed to stop hiccups. Licking a table spoon is also recommended at times. If the condition lasts more than 2hours, one should consult a doctor as most hiccups end within a very short period of time.
