 Hiccup!
Hiccup! Did you get the hiccups? It just
happened suddenly and you can’t stop
them, right? When you have hiccups, you make repeated strange sounds in your throat. Yes, sometimes getting the hiccups
can be annoying. So, why does it
happen? And how can we stop it?
A fast closing of the vocal cords makes the hiccup
sound. Many different things can cause the hiccups. Inhaling toxic fumes can cause them. For example, gasoline, hair spray or a
bug repellent can make you
start hiccupping. So, if someone around you is using hair
spray or a bug repellent, stay away from them. Sometimes
you get the hiccups when you eat or drink too quickly. Eating hot and spicy foods is also a big
cause of hiccups. But don’t worry. You don’t need to stop eating your
favorite foods because the
hiccups won’t happen all the time.
 In some
cases, there is no clear cause for the hiccups. Sometimes
they can just happen all of a sudden anywhere,
anytime. Having the hiccups can be an annoying thing. It can also
make other people around you feel uncomfortable, too. So, how
can we stop the hiccups?
Usually, hiccups go away naturally with time. But
you can try a few things to stop them.
The most common cure for the hiccups is holding
your breath. Take in a deep breath and hold it as long as possible. But
it doesn’t work all the time. Then,
why don’t you use a paper bag? Take deep breaths into a paper bag.
Drinking cold water can also be helpful. Some people say
swallowing a teaspoon of sugar will help, too.
There is another good cure for the
hiccups. Getting a sudden scare sometimes can stop
them! I’m not talking about watching a scary movie or seeing something
scary. If someone is suffering from hiccups, try to come up behind them and startle them all of a sudden!
This is not a scientifically proved cure, but sometimes
it really works! |
