Diaphragm irritation: You do not give the age of your brother. In general, the hiccups are because the diaphragm (the organ that divides your chest from your tummy) is being irritated. The burning is likely acid reflux. Avoiding spicy and acid foods will help. Your brother should see a physician for a full evaluation.
