What to do if you have persistent hiccups

There are many common problems in life, and we need good methods to solve some of them. However, solving any problem takes some time, and the same is true for treating diseases. This can avoid damage to human health. So what should we do if we have hiccups? Many people are not clear about this issue. There are good solutions to hiccups.

Many people don’t know what to do when faced with hiccups. There are some solutions to this phenomenon, but what should you do if the hiccups don’t stop? The following is a detailed introduction so that you know how to do it best.

What to do if you have persistent hiccups:

Use deep breathing techniques

For example, if you have hiccups while eating, you can stop eating and take a few deep breaths, which will usually stop the hiccups in a short time.

When hiccups occur frequently, you can press the "Shao Shang" points on both sides with your fingers or ask someone else to do so. The "Shao Shang" point is located on the radial side of the root of the thumb nail, about 0.6 cm away from the edge of the nail, at the junction of the black and white flesh. When pressing, a certain amount of force should be used so that the patient feels obvious pain. The patient can perform compression by alternating hands.

Massage is effective in treating hiccups

Take a thin stick, wrap one end with cotton (if there is no stick at hand, you can use the thin end of a bamboo chopstick wrapped with cotton instead), put it into the patient's mouth, and use the soft end to press a point on the midline of the soft palate in front of the tip. This point is located just slightly behind the junction of the hard and soft palate. Generally, one minute of massage can effectively control hiccups.

Drinking water bending method

Drink a few sips of warm water, swallow it slowly, and bend over 90 degrees 10 to 15 times. Because the stomach is closer to the diaphragm, it can warm the diaphragm from the inside. When you bend over, the internal organs will also massage the diaphragm, relieving diaphragm spasms and achieving the purpose of stopping hiccups.

Through the above introduction, you will have a good understanding of what to do if you have persistent hiccups. When such problems occur, you can follow the above methods. However, it should be noted that when choosing these methods, you should also base them on your own situation. This will be of great help in improving your own problems.
