Drinking white vinegar does not remove hiccups and has no scientific basis. Methods to eliminate hiccups include general treatment, medication and so on. Hiccups are mostly caused by diaphragm contraction and spasm, and drinking white vinegar is directly acting on the stomach, so it can’t relieve the effect of hiccups. 1. General treatment: when hiccups, you can hold your breath, which in turn affects the diaphragm activity and reduces the hiccups symptoms. Secondly, you can also bend over 90° and drink warm water properly, which can relieve spasm of the diaphragm muscle. 2. Medication: If the above methods do not achieve the desired effect, and hiccups symptoms persist for a long time, it is recommended to go to the hospital as soon as possible, through the drug to carry on the treatment. Commonly there are scopolamine, metoclopramide and so on, which can eliminate the problem of diaphragm contraction spasm. To summarize, drinking white vinegar for hiccups has no scientific basis, and it is recommended not to listen to the prescription. Serious cases should be treated in accordance with medical advice.
