My little sister has had the hiccups for three days in a row.. they only seldom stop. should we be worried?

Hiccups...: Hiccups can be very serious and how worrisome the situation is depends on many factors, including the age of your little sister. If your sister is a child, a call to the pediatrician is definitely needed and an ER visit may be necessary, depending on the presence of other symptoms. If your sis is an adult, she needs to see a doctor to find the etiology and treat hiccups-3 days is long enough!!
