What causes hiccoughs to end?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Many possibilities: Hiccoughs, a sudden contraction of the diaphragm, is related to irritation of the diaphragm and sometimes unknown causes. There are many home remedies such as breath holding, water drinking, sucking on a spoonful of sugar and scaring people. Most clear by themselves, but rare might need a doctors attention if persistent.
