Brief Answer:
Baclofen can be given

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for posting on healthcaremagic.

Baclofen (brand names Kemstro, Lioresal, Liofen, Gablofen, Lyflex) syrup can be given to relieve the hiccups. This is a prescription drug, please get it prescribed by his pediatrician.

Let me mention that such hiccups could be indicative of gastroesophageal reflux.
