What should I do if I have persistent hiccups?

Patient's question:

How to deal with persistent sore throat?

Doctor's answer:

According to your description, hiccups are generally caused by severe irritation and pain stimulating the diaphragm. There are several reasons that can lead to diaphragm spasms, such as gastrointestinal diseases, such as gastritis, gastric ulcers, duodenal ulcers, and so on. If the hiccups are not too frequent, you can first wait and see by using a distraction method. If they are more frequent, it is recommended to go to the hospital to investigate the cause carefully.
