Hiccups in babies that are short-lived usually do not need to be stopped as they can usually recover on their own. If the hiccups are persistent, the baby may feel comfortable, at which time parents can gently pat the baby’s back to relieve the hiccup symptoms. Hiccups are usually caused by spasmodic contraction of the diaphragm under the stimulation of cold air after inhalation. If the child does not have any other adverse reactions, the hiccups will usually be relieved on their own, and parents do not need to worry too much. If your child has hiccups more often or for a longer period of time, parents can gently pat the back, which can also relieve hiccups to a certain extent. You can also give your baby some hot water to relieve the hiccups caused by diaphragm contraction. In addition, you should pay attention to the warmth of the abdomen to avoid getting cold again. If the hiccups are not relieved for a long time, or accompanied by other symptoms, parents need to take their children to the doctor for timely medical treatment, and relieve the discomfort with the help of the doctor.
