Is there any way to stop hiccups?

In daily life, hiccups are a very normal physiological reaction. I remember when the teacher in junior high school said that it was the contraction of the diaphragm muscles caused by the inflow of air, resulting in what we call hiccups. You must have encountered them in special situations. Hiccups or hiccups occur suddenly in a quiet place or on some big occasions, and sometimes it makes a joke. In order to avoid this embarrassing situation, here are some ways to stop hiccups.

Drinking water and holding your breath: drink a few sips of water, swallow it slowly, then hold your breath for about half a minute until your belly bulges, swallow the breath without exhaling, and then repeat. Or you can drink a large sip of slightly hot water and swallow it in several small sips (remember my mother said to swallow seven sips of water), the effect is also quite good.

Frightening method: Everyone knows this since childhood. It is to use people to be frightened and then stimulate the brain nerves to stop the contraction of the diaphragm muscles. This can allow people around you to slap you from behind or slap you in the ear while you are not paying attention. Shout. (Don’t retaliate if you are scared)

How to swallow sliced ??ginger raw: Cut a piece of ginger into slices, then put it in your mouth, chew it, and swallow it. This method is said to be very effective, but most girls will not try it boldly. After all, the taste of ginger is really indescribable.

Massage acupoint method: You can press the Hegu point (also known as the tiger's mouth, which is the location of the tiger's mouth between the thumb and index finger). You can put your fingers together and see a bulge like a muscle next to your thumb. Press hard. Press and feel pain at the Hegu point. Pressing the Cuanzhu point (inside the brow) can not only stop septa, but regular pressing is also beneficial. Some people also press a raised bone in the back of the neck, but I haven't tried it yet.

Stimulate vomiting method: Use chopsticks or foreign objects to stick to the roof of the mouth or the base of the tongue to cause vomiting, which can stop sepsis. It is not recommended to do it in public places, and children should not use this method. It is not safe.

Sneeze method: When you burp, irritate your nose and sneeze one or two times, which can stop the hiccups very well. It has been tried and tested since childhood, but it is easy to bite the tongue.

Tongue stretching method: wash your hands, pull the tongue until the base of the tongue is pulled out (I haven’t tried it, I feel it is not elegant)

Vinegar drinking therapy: drink a sip of vinegar, Swallowing it slowly can also stop hiccups, but will the vinegar feel more sour than hiccups?

Eating dry bread method: You can eat dry bread, toasted bread slices, or biscuits. The effect and principle are the same.

The above are some of the more scientific methods I have summarized. You can try them when you hiccup, and then you no longer have to worry about the embarrassing hiccups.
