HIPCCUP

A hiccup is an unintentional movement (spasm) of the diaphragm, the muscle at the base of the lungs. 

The spasm is followed by quick closing of the vocal cords, which produces a distinctive sound.


Hiccups often start for no apparent reason and usually disappear after a few minutes. 

Rarely, hiccups can last for days, weeks, or months. 

Hiccups are common and normal in newborns and infants.

Causes

1.Abdominal surgery

2.Any disease or disorder that irritates the nerves that control the diaphragm (such as pleurisy or pneumonia)

3.Hot and spicy foods or liquids

4. Noxious fumes

5. Stroke or tumor affecting the "hiccup center" in the brain

( ACCORDING  TO CAUSE,  WE CAN CURE SIMPLY  IN LMNT). 

Home Care

There is no sure way to stop hiccups, but there are a number of common suggestions that may be effective:

Breathe repeatedly into a paper bag.

Drink a glass of cold water.

Eat a teaspoon of sugar.

Hold your breath.
