Guys, i find the following infos are quite essential for the each of us to know -
A Cure for Hiccups (A Cure for Hiccoughs)
There are many ways to cure hiccups. yeap, MANY.
Some of you might find it as a joke, but i can tell you that it works, depends on individual.
Cures involving your breath (or respiratory tract) -
- Take three to five of the deepest breaths you can. [ tested by chohuiyin, it works :) ]
- Relax and breathe from your diaphragm.
- Breathe in through your mouth as deeply as you can, as if you you're going to sigh. Count to ten, then let your breath out with a sigh.
p/s : the test that have failed at least once is marked with (X)
There are some moves that i doubt their effectiveness -
- Laugh (X)
- Say "pineapple." (X)
- Make yourself vomit.
- Talk non-stop for ten seconds. (X)
- Stimulate your clitoris. For women only.
- Scream for as long as you can.
- Run; keep running for at least 10 minutes after the hiccups have subsided. @_@ (X)
- Drink three big gulps of cold water (X)
- Take a big sip of water, bend over and swallow it.
- Quickly drink a cup of room temperature Coca-Cola.
- Slowly eat a mandarin orange, sucking it against the soft palate.
And of cause, as a future pharmacist of university of strathclyde, you need to aware that these drugs/herbs can actually help to cure hiccups -
- Magnesia phosphoricum.
- Smelling salts.
- Take anything that would make you sneeze.
- Lidocaine drops in the ears combined with sleep-inducing cough medicine
- Take repeated small sips of a full beer with a short pause between sips (a second or less).
- According to bnf --> antipsychotic can be used to cure hiccups too eg. chlorpromazine and haloperidol. (is worth remembering - thks ming)
So that is all about it. Do remember some useful ways to help yourself or your loved ones. And drop me a note if i have missed out anything.
cheers

Nice post... Looks like solid-state memory is really beginning to take off. Hopefully we'll start seeing decreasing SSD prices in the near future. 5 dollar 32 GB Micro SDs for your DS flash card... imagine that!
