hello, welcome to HCM. Hiccups are caused by irritation of diaphragm muscle. It can be treated by administering tablet chlorpromazine twice a day. Wish you good health.

Hi,
hiccough is due to disturb in diagetion.
Look to bowel habit, if constipation then take good laxative.
If gases are there then also laxative help to release them.
I advice to take basti A panchakarma treatment.

Welcome to Healthcare Magic
These hiccups could be due to irritation of the diaphragm. If no cause is found, the medicine called Chlorpromazine is usually given as the drug of choice for hiccups as long as there is no contraindication. Discuss this with your Doctor and give him some relief.

There are plenty of causes for chronic hiccup anyway trying initially with safe drug like metaclopromide 10 mg three times daily is worth trying once he gets hiccup.
