Patient's question:
I worked as a part-time job with my hometown friend, and we didn't have any relatives nearby, so we rented a room together for support. We both ate lunch at the company canteen. In the evening, we cooked and ate together. Recently, my hometown friend has been hiccuping constantly. How can you treat persistent hiccuping?Doctor's answer:
Persistent hiccuping is primarily caused by diaphragmatic spasms, and sometimes conditions like abdominal bloating, improper diet, or various cerebrovascular diseases can lead to recurrent persistent hiccuping. In what situations should one first examine the cause of laryngeal pain and then provide symptomatic treatment? If other diseases are ruled out, acupuncture treatment based on Traditional Chinese Medicine principles can be effective.
