This works if you're trying to cure someone else that has the hiccups. Put your index finger up and have them follow it with just their eyes as you move it side to side in front of their face. Just like a cop does for a dui. After about 6-8 passes proceed to slap them in the face hard enough to sting them slightly but not hard enough to where they want to fight you. The shock of getting slapped makes the hiccups go away instantly. I guess its only a one time cure because once you know the trick it may not work.

Very common in the ICU with brain injuries. We'd give IV Thorazine simply because hiccups can drive up intracranial pressures.

I had Hiccups for about 6 weeks one time they checked my heart with everything imaginable. They tried everything and couldn't find anything. I finally found a doctor who prescribe me a pill in about three hours my hiccups were gone. RayBob do you happen to know what that medication was? I am more curious than anything.
