What is the definition or description of: Baby hiccupping?
I have been hiccuping non stop everyday for the past 2 years. Its getting more frequent and even painful at times. I did an endoscopy and they said nothing was wrong. Its annoying to me and anyone around me I just need answers.
Why do i hiccup once randomly multiple times a day every day? i also noticed my dad does the same thing.. not sure if its a hereditary thing or what?
