Q. Here is a cure for hiccups. The person with hiccups plugs up both ears with her fingers and drinks water. This is easiest with the help of another person holding the ears, but by using a bottle of water you can accomplish this by yourself.
A. Thanks. It does help to have someone else press on the little flap (tragus) that covers each ear canal.
This, too, may help. Had a four day long bout with hiccups and had tried everything available , and had no luck. But, while visiting my brother, I mentioned my problem. He suggested that I drink a glass of water by bending over and drinking the entire glass from the opposite side rim of the glass. I was instantly cured. He said it always works for him.
I used to use the trick of holding my ears and drinking water. A bit hard to do! Then I happened on a fellow on the 'net who said just hold your nose and drink the water. Bless him, it works. As he said, it's the drowning effect that does the trick. Of course, my son-in-law says it doesn't work for him. ::grin:: however I believe in this remedy!! It works for me everytime.
The best hiccup remedy i have found is dill pickle juice. 1-2 ozs does the trick.
