How to Cure the Hiccups

Does anyone else still regularly get the hiccups as an adult? I do, and it drives me nuts! It wasn’t until high school that I found a truly effective way to get rid of hiccups, as taught to me by one of my instructors…

If you find yourself in the midst of a bought of hiccups, here’s what you need to do:

Plug your nose and hold your breath while you count to 10. Then, before unplugging your nose or exhaling, swallow twice. This usually makes my ears pop, but I’ll tell you, it works every time!

If you hiccup in the middle of this process, you’ll probably have to start over, but it’s worth it :).

What do you do to stop the hiccups?
