What to do if you have a cold and keep hiccuping

In daily life, we often find that we hiccup for no apparent reason. At this time, holding our breath can help stop the hiccups. So what is going on? What should I do if I have a cold and keep hiccuping? In fact, hiccups are mainly caused by too much air suddenly entering our chest and abdominal cavities, causing the diaphragm inside to contract suddenly and quickly, resulting in hiccups. Many people say that you should chew your food slowly and thoroughly to prevent hiccups and help digestion.

Hiccups are medically called "hiccups". Temporary hiccups may occur if you are exposed to cold stimulation, have a full meal, eat too fast, or eat dry and hard food. This is not a disease, so there is no need to see a doctor. Hiccups are generally a common physiological phenomenon. Hiccups are caused by spasms and contractions of the diaphragm. In fact, the diaphragm is not a membrane that separates the chest cavity and the abdominal cavity, but a large piece of muscle. Each time it contracts smoothly, our lungs inhale a breath; because it is controlled by the respiratory center in the brain, the diaphragm muscles will move regularly, and our breathing can be completely autonomous, and we do not need to remember how to breathe all the time. When you hiccup, the diaphragm contracts involuntarily, air is quickly sucked into the lungs, and the gap between the two vocal cords suddenly narrows, causing a strange sound. We don't know why the diaphragm contracts uncontrollably. Although most hiccups are short-lived, some people have persistent hiccups. To treat hiccups, the first thing to do is to treat the primary disease that causes the hiccups, and then to treat the symptoms.

Here are some simple and practical methods that can block nerve reflexes and stop hiccups.

1. Distract attention and eliminate tension and adverse stimulation.

2. Take a deep breath first, then hold it for as long as possible, then exhale, and repeat several times.

3. Drink boiled water, especially slightly hot boiled water. Take a big sip and swallow it in several times.

4. Wash your hands, insert your index finger into your mouth, and gently stimulate your throat.

5. Put the mixed gas into a plastic bag and inhale it. The mixed gas contains 90% oxygen and 10% carbon dioxide.

6. Chew ginger slices.

7. Wash the raw leeks, squeeze out the juice and drink it orally.

8. Take 20 persimmon stalks (referring to the stalks of fresh persimmons or persimmon cakes), decoct them in water into 100 ml, and take orally in two doses, 50 ml each time. You can also add leek seeds when frying. Hiccups are medically called "hiccups".
