Crazy Hiccup Cures

 

 

I get frequent questions about hiccup cures. I am so surprised at all of the  "sure cures" for the hiccups out there.

The following "cures" are compliments of People magazine, and contributed by its readers.

Enjoy!

Dr. Mike

P.S. I remain skeptical even after reading all of them. The last one is my favorite, though!

 

"Fill a cup with water, light a match and throw it in the water. Then drink the water".

"Have someone hold your ears tightly closed (by pushing up your earlobes)..."

"Take a lemon wedge and put Tabasco on it. Suck on it, and the hiccups will go away".

"The solution is pickles".

"Close your eyes and concentrate on counting your pulse".

"Pour four to six ounces of water in a glass and cover with a paper napkin, hold the napkin tight around the glass and drink the water through the napkin without breathing".

From our readers:

"One teaspoon of brown sugar". Tammy R.

"Stand on your head for 1 hour". Sherry S.

"Drink 3 raw eggs". Will F.

Send us your "cures" and we'll publish them, too! Hiccup! Hiccup! Hiccup!
