How to get rid of hiccups and whatnot.

[chibi-master]

I have had hiccups for the last 5 hours on and off for no good reason. Obviously, I want them gone. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Also, I figured it was about time that OB had a home remedy thread. If you can think of something that you have always used to get better from illness, please share your secrets here!

Drink a bunch of water or try holding your breath for as long as you can. Otherwise, wait for 'em to go away? I dunno, I don't actually get hiccups that often, so I don't have many good remedies for 'em.

Also, when I'm sick I try to drink lots of water. It's like flushing out all those yucky germs. I wouldn't call that much of a home remedy, but it's the best I got at the moment.
