I know there all kinds of nonsense cures. But the only 4 that work for me in some crazy combination. From least effective to most effective.
4. Get a glass of water and bend over and drink the whole glass off the back of the glass upside down.
3. TAke a big breath and hold it for quite a while, and just when you think you are running out of air start blowing out, and keep blowing out and keep blowing out until you almost pass out. Repeat.
2. Take 3 sugar packets. Open them and pour them onto your toungue. Let them dissolve on your toungue while holding your breath.
1. Go outside drive over to the barrio/ghetto/slum, pay somebody 10 dollars to punch you in the stomach as hard as he or she can.

I get the hiccups every single time I eat. My mother always told me I swallow too much air while eating,,,,,,,,,,,But I digress...........This has worked for me 3 to 5 times a day for 30 years.....Hiccups have a rythem. As the first few appear, mentally time them. Then when the next one is about to come, gather a bit of saliva and take a very exaggerated SLOW swallow, almost as if you are feeling the air and the saliva heading downward every single centimeter. If you timed it correctly, the upcoming hiccup will collide with your swallow. It will force it back down and eliminate any future hiccups as well. This has never failed me. I'm not so good with math, but whatever 3 times 30 years is, I think I have a large enough sample to call it a worthwhile solution............Good Luck.
Best remedy ever. I had them for 2 hours once too and this cured them. Get a heaping tablespoon of sugar and swallow it slowly. Do not drink water after doing this. IT WORKS!!!

Cures involving your breath
Laugh.
Swallow air.
Hyperventilate.
Induce a cough or sneeze.
Relax and breathe from your diaphragm.
Inhale and exhale once a second for two minutes.
Do the Complete Breath as practiced in Hatha Yoga.
Blow on your thumb (as if you were blowing up a balloon).
Hold your breath (for 8 seconds, for as long as you can, etc.).
Inhale some air into your stomach, then let out as loud a belch as possible.
Cough and continue to blow until your lungs are empty; repeat three times.
Carefully inhale; pause briefly; carefully exhale; pause briefly; repeat this several times.
Breathe slowly and semi-shallowly through your mouth; relax your stomach and chest as much as possible.
Breathe in through your mouth as deeply as you can, as you you're going to sigh. Count to ten, then let your breath out with a sigh.
As soon as the hiccups start, put your head on the ground (so that your body is in an inverted V) and hold your breath for ten seconds.
Plug your ears (so sound is partially blocked), take a deep breath and swallow 3-6 times straight, without taking a breath between swallows.
Sit somewhere quiet; make sure your posture is straight; breathe slowly and deeply, diaphragm-style, then breathe through your nose as slowly as you possibly can.
A second or two before you expect a hiccup, exhale completely, firmly constrict your diaphragm muscles, and hold that position for several seconds; then breathe normally.
Close your mouth and breath easily through your nose; swallow easily once; tell yourself: "The electrical system short you have experienced has been corrected and your hick-up is gone."
Lie down flat on the floor, press both fists against your stomach (parallel to each other, so that each fist touches each wrist), and breath deeply. (Alternatively, have an assistant do the pressing.)
Lie down; stretch out as far as you can (fingers toward the wall above your head, toes pointed toward the wall below your feet); hold your breath as long as possible then breathe once quickly for a quick half of a second then hold your breath again.
Lie flat on your back, completely relax your body, letting the air out of your lungs (don't force it out, just relax and let it flow out) until there is no pressure on your diaphragm; wait until the hiccups cease. (Once you've mastered this technique, you may be able to do it without lying down.)
Take as slow and as deep a breath as you can tolerate (it should take at least 10 seconds to inhale; longer is better); near the end of this breath, you will feel a kind of shudder in your diaghram; affter the shudder, go back to breathing normally (if you do not feel the shudder, repeat the process until you do).
Exhale all of your breath, squeezing the air out as thoroughly as you can and hold your breath. While holding your breath, swallow two or three times (depending on how good you are at holding you breath and swallowing). Swallowing hard helps but is not necessary. Swallowing can be done either dry, using saliva or using a small sip of water. If you feel like you may hiccup again, quickly partially exhale and swallow hard.
As soon as the hiccups start (ideally, after only two or three hiccups), take several deep breaths quickly (that is, hyperventilate), exhale most of the air in your lungs, hold your mouth and nose closed so you can?t breathe. Then (and, if you can time it, just before the next hiccup), try as hard as you can to inhale (but use your hands to prevent any air from entering). If you are successful, the next hiccup will cause you to hear a sound like a muted burp. After the last hiccup, sit quietly; wait about twenty seconds before taking your next breath, then breathe slowly.

the only medical cure as of a few years ago according to the New England Journal of medicine, was this;
using a qtip or other object (i use finger) rub between the soft part and the hard part of your r pallet in your mouth for :30 seconds to 1 minute.
Has worked for me for years now.

people with chronic hiccups are often helped by taking Thorazine. Hope your problem doesn't last that long!
We use this at the bar. Put a couple of drops of bitters on a lemon wedge and eat. Tastes like crap, but has never failed. Also, the other night, a friend at my house got the hiccups and couldn't get rid of them. I didn't have a lemon on hand, but I had some sour flavored gum. He tried that and it worked. Try chewing anything sour. It works.
