start proton pump inhibitors (pantoprazole with domperidone) for initial 5 days two times in a day before meal. if gastric irritation is relieved then hiccups will automatically stop. after that if hiccups continue for longer then give prokinetic agents like chlorpromazine 25mg twice a day for 5 days. avoid any drink or food 1 hour before going to bed. avoid spicy food. drink lots of water.
