What Causes Frequent Hiccups While On Cefdinir And Cheratussin For Sinus Infection?
I was prescribed the following medications on Monday for a sinus infection with cough and sore throat. Cefdinir 300MG, Cheratussin AC syrup, and Ed A-Hist...I took my first doses on Monday night. On Tuesday morning I woke up with the hiccups, and the persisted all day from 6:30am until 11:00pm. I could temporarily stop them by eating something soft and creamy like peanut butter or chocolate, but they always came back in 30 minutes or so. It is now Wednesday and I still have hiccups. Could one of these meds be causing this?

Frequent hiccups are due to hyperacidity and gastritis these medicines you take do not cause this. Most probably you have hiccups as an associated problem ..If i have to treat such a patient i will advice cap rabeprazole , an antaacid gel for oral use and tab metoclorpropamide, no chillies no fried foods no drinks have bland diet
