hi welcome to health care magic. hiccups can be caused by many factors. metabolic causes like low sodium renal failure state. It can happen because of gastritis and acid reflux. even a basal pneumonia can cause hiccups. I'm sure your doctor would have rused out these during hospitalisation. If hiccups are persisting he might require imaging to look for tumors around the diaphragm brain imaging to look for brain disorders.
