Why, when i get the hiccups once, do i get them 3-4 more times in the same day? but then not for months.

Come and go: Hiccups come and go. The pattern you are describing is quite typical. Hiccups can be triggered by a number of different things, but are a result of muscle contractions in the diaphragm.
