I’ve tried many things before, but in the past couple days I’ve found that eating a packet or two of mustard tends to get rid of hiccups.

What sort of tricks do you folks have?

    The weirdest one I’ve tried that works is take your pinky finger and just barely, almost imperceptivly, rub your ear lobe with it. The only reason I can think of why it works is because you focus on not touching your ear too hard or too soft and just… Forget to hiccup? 🤷🏻‍♂️

      Update: I went and smoked a bowl of weed. My hiccups turned into a spell of about a dozen sneezes. Now I’m good, no more hiccups or sneezes haha!

        Smoking (green or otherwise) is also supposedly a way to stop hiccups. It can, however, also cause them in the first place. I usually find the latter more true than the former, personally. 😅

          All seem to be temporary solutions, now the hiccups are back ☹️

      Have an upvote for the advice, but that ain’t working for me right now. Sometimes the mustard trick seems to work for a couple hours or so, but that’s hit and miss as well.

      I dunno, guess I’m gonna pack a bowl of green and see if that helps… 🤷‍♂️
