    How to kill hiccups in three easy steps - guaranteed to work every single time:

    1. Fill a pint (or any big glass) with water
    2. Exhale all air out
    3. Finish that pint in a single continuous gulp without pausing

    My go-to for hiccups is to empty then fill my lungs past where they’re comfortable and hold as long as possible. It’s not comfortable, but has been the best remedy. Peanut butter sounds like it would be good since it’s slow to swallow

      LOL, I’ve heard of that before.

      I’ll pass though, I took some Alka Seltzer earlier and so far so good. 👍🤞

    Sit up straight. Breath in as much as you can. Then a little bit more. Hold as long as you can. Let it out slowly.

    Works every time for me.

    Gaslight yourself into believing hiccups aren’t real. Sounds crazy but it works. Just tell yourself they aren’t real and really believe it

    Vinegar has always helped me. Malt vinegar, or Apple cider vinegar.

    Trader Joes has a really yummy lemon ginger acv drink that’s one of my go to’s

    Every time I have hiccups I stop it immediately by changing the rhythm of my breathing and making sure I breath using my diaphragm.

      Don’t have pickles at home right now, but reading the other comments suggesting a spoonful or so of vinegar might help, we do have vinegar at least.

    My hiccup remedy is to take a moderately deep breath, then say, out loud, “Now” right before you hiccup again.

    Usually, the control and attention keep it from happening again. I’ve had many people do this and just go, “oh, I guess they went away…” 👀

          It’s been over 24 hours now, only with very brief breaks in the hiccups, but yeah I actually feel like I’m doomed for now ☹️

            Not to scare you, but if they last more than a couple days you should reach out to a doctor. I have a family member who had this happen, had horrid hiccups for 4 days straight and it tore open a part that required surgery. It’s been so long now I can’t remember exactly how it happened since I was fairly young at the time, but do take care of yourself <3 hope they clear up soon

              It’s very rare that this happens to me. I do think it’s associated with a mild chest cold I just went through over the past few days or so. The cold itself has basically already passed, but I think that’s what left me with lingering hiccups.

              At least the hiccups aren’t severe, like I don’t think I’m gonna end up with a hernia or anything like that, but yeah it’s annoying as hell and making it rather difficult to sleep ☹️

              I’m pretty sure it’ll pass within a day or so, hopefully 🤞
