A member asked:
Started taking dexamethasone yesterday for sinus and ear inflammation. this morning i've been having hiccups, even when i just cough, i'll hiccup. for reference, i never get hiccups, maybe once a year. is this something that will go away?

Most likely. Never heard of Dex causing hiccups. Old Missouri cure is to take a tall full glass of water and drink it from the other side as you lean over a bathtub. This will flush our air in stomach which can be causing it. Worth a try in AR I would think. And cheap. Let us know if it helped down there.
