Unclear: At your age, i may not have to worry much about all the other causes of hiccough. It is an irritation of the phrenic nerve causing sudden jolts of the diaphragm coming out as hiccough. Try rebreathing through a bag or holding your breath, or drinking water. If it does not resolve, see your doctor to find out. There are treatments, but it is better to know if there is a bad cause.
