My child has been hiccuping frequently in the past few months. I've been quite careful about keeping warm, and drinking hot water doesn't help when they hiccup. It hurts them every time, but I don't know what to do. The child is too young, and I don't want to take them to the hospital. How can sore throat be treated?Doctor's answer:
