Keeping you Happy, Healthy & Safe

Many people experience hiccups at some point in their lives, but for some, they can be a regular occurrence. Hiccups are involuntary spasms of the diaphragm — the muscle that separates your chest and abdominal cavity and helps you breathe. While hiccups are generally harmless, they can be annoying and disruptive. If you’re looking for ways to get rid of hiccups, there are a few things you can try. This blog post will explore some of the most popular methods and offer tips on how to get rid of hiccups.

Why we get hiccups

We get hiccups because the diaphragm, the muscle that separates the chest cavity from the abdominal cavity, contracts involuntarily. This causes a slight opening between the stomach and esophagus, which allows a small amount of air to escape. The escape of this air causes the vocal cords to close, producing the ‘hic’ sound.

How get rid hiccups

There are many ways to get rid of hiccups, but one of the most effective is to drink a glass of water. Other methods include holding your breath, drinking a cup of sugar water, or chewing on a piece of lemon.

How to stop newborn hiccups

There are a few things you can do to try and stop your newborn’s hiccups. One is to give them a pacifier. If that doesn’t work, try burping them more frequently or holding them upright after feedings. You can also try gently massaging their back or giving them a little bit of sugar water to drink. If none of these things work, don’t worry – hiccups are usually harmless and will go away on their own eventually.
