What’s wrong with the hiccups and the feeling of a foreign body in your throat?

Hiccups that feel like a foreign body in the throat are caused by acid reflux into the larynx during hiccups, causing congestion and edema of the laryngeal mucosa, especially in the arytenoids. This can lead to a foreign body sensation and pain in the larynx, partly accompanied by coughing, etc. On examination, the mucous membrane of the larynx is congested and swollen. The treatment should first treat the stomach disease, such as oral omeprazole to inhibit gastric acid secretion and oral morpholine to inhibit acid reflux. Diet needs to eat less or no acidic or sweet food, no carbonated drinks, etc., to reduce the production of acid. The treatment course is about 4-6 weeks, and this is when significant results can be achieved. Therefore, for hiccups that feel like a foreign body in the throat, active treatment of stomach disorders is needed to achieve good results.
