Hiccups are : almost always benign and usually go away by themselves. The most annoying thing about them is that if continuous for a few days, they can interfere with sleep. While there are a couple of injectable medications that can resolve them and are usually administered by ED doctors, the medications have significant side effects and are used usually with intractable cases.
