Answer 2

take deep breaths then exhale.

Answer 3

This always works for me...... . Drink out of the other side of a half of a glass of water. Now, I know what you are thinking. How to drink from the other side of the glass. Well, I don't mean just rotate the glass, and drink from the other side. No, what I mean is, hold the half full glass of water normally, and instead of drinking from the side of the glass closest to you, drink from the other side of it. Yes, you will have to bend way over, hold your nose, and drink a couple of sips upside-down. You kind of have to stick your chin inside the glass to make it work.. . It sounds crazy, and looks funny, but it has never failed me yet.

Answer 8

You should take a couple of leaves of Tulasi and some sugar and quickly after eating them drink water. If you don't have Tulsi ( see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tulasi ) take just sugar. It always works!

Answer 9

Try a spoonful of sugar

Answer 10

get some room temperature water and drink it upside down it may sound silly but it helps me everytime....but dont use a straw. it has something to do with the air intake that gets rid of the hiccups.
