Hello,

He may be developed viral pharyngitis. Inflammation of nerves may cause diaphragm contraction lead to hiccups. So, isolate the infected person.

Use salt water gargling and water vapor inhalation. Use antipyretic drugs for fever and headache and tablet Liofen twice if hiccups are heavy.

If symptoms do not improved, please consult your physician, he/she will examine and treat you accordingly.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
