Health Tips for Days When You Feel Sick : Eliminating Hiccups

You've tried everything, but you can't find a way to get rid of your dreaded hiccups. You've drank water in interesting ways, but that's only made you need to use the bathroom.

Take a cotton swap, cue-tip, or pencil eraser and stick it at the end of your throat. You will feel like gagging at first, but your hiccups will disappear.

Poking at the back of the throat stimulates the flap of skin known as the uvula. This activates the gagging sensation and interrupts hiccups resonating from your diaphragm. At last you will be able to breathe in peace.
