What to do if you have hiccups after drinking

Hiccups after drinking alcohol can be relieved by drinking warm milk, massaging the abdomen, or using omeprazole or aluminum thioglycollate. Most hiccups after drinking are caused by alcohol stimulating the stomach mucosa and causing stomach spasms, so you can drink warm milk appropriately at this time. Warm milk not only relieves stomach wall spasms and contractions, but also has the effect of protecting the stomach mucosa from alcohol stimulation. Massage on the abdomen can promote stomach peristalsis, so that the wine in the stomach can be discharged as soon as possible, and massage can also promote gastric blood circulation and relieve stomach wall spasm, so it also has a regulatory effect on hiccups. Some people who drink alcohol have hiccups due to gastritis or gastric ulcer disease in the stomach and need to use drugs to relieve them. Omeprazole is a stomach acid inhibitor, which can reduce the secretion of stomach acid and prevent the concentration of stomach acid in the stomach from being too high. Aluminum thioglycollate is a gastric mucosal protective agent that not only isolates gastric acid and pepsin, but also promotes the repair of gastric mucosa. After the repair of the protective barrier of gastric mucosa, the stimulation by alcohol will be reduced accordingly.
