Hiccups can be most effectively treated with antispasmodic medications under the guidance of a qualified physician. Drinking a moderate amount of warm water may also help alleviate symptoms. Hiccups are often caused by spasms of the diaphragm. During recovery, patients should consume light, easily digestible foods and avoid spicy or irritating foods. Maintaining a positive mental state is also important. Additionally, patients should chew food thoroughly and eat slowly during meals.
