      I don’t think there is a cure that 100% works. I try and hold my breath for 20seconds and then keep repeating it but sometimes it doesn’t work- also be careful you don’t hold your breath for too long. My mum always tries to scare me to get rid of my hiccups and that sometimes works. I think once you get hiccups you get into a rhythm of hiccuping so you need to do something to break this rhythm. Drinking water sometimes helps. I don’t like having hiccups they hurt! 🙂

      I was told that if you stand with your ehad upside down and try and drink a glass of water this works! I have done it once and it did cure it..but maybe thats because i was concentrating so much on doing it that I forgot about my hiccups and they went. Other people say a good cure is if someone makes you jump!..or holding your breath!
