U mean hiccups ? Hold yr breath and drink water. Swallow the water/liquid with the air u have been holding up. Works all the time for me...u may have to drink twice or something coz sometimes just once doesn't help.

Gulp 2 teaspoons full of sugar at once . It should work !. Also surprise-shock treatment that gives you a "Oh!" can also cure. But if temperment does not suit, after effects are not worth the attempt.

You should eat a tablespoon of creamy peanut butter. Works for me every time.

I hold my breath for ten seconds, drink 8 oz. of water (or other liquid), and continue holding my breath for another ten seconds. This works for me about 80% of the time; if it doesn't, I increase the length of time for which I hold my breath and the amount of water I drink.. . Good luck!!!!
