A member asked:

My 2.5 yr old daughter some days (1 or 2 days a month) has the hiccups on and off (6 - 7 times a day). is this normal? her checkup was ok...

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes mostly..: Yes that is a normal and physiologic response to fast eating, spicy foods, fizzy foods etc. Sometimes reflux can be associated with it. Typically if infrequent, nothing needs to be done.
