12 Home Remedies for Hiccups

Sweet Foods

Try to eat a spoon of something sweet such as brown sugar or honey if you have hiccups. After that, hold it in the mouth for at least 10 to 15 seconds, then swallow and drink water. This would activate the salivary glands and lead to changes in your breathing rhythm when you are swallowing. If it does not work, do not ingest other sugar spoons. Instead, it is better to choose another technique. Also, avoid applying this method to infants because this condition tends to go away in kids. [3]
