Hello,
It is my pleasure to help you,
As you had generalized urticaria your doctor has prescribed the medicines to control your symptoms.
The symptoms will improve with completeness of the course prescribed your doctor.
The hiccups what you are having will resolve by itself in a short period of time and are rarely a medical emergency.
If the hiccups are disturbing your eating or sleeping habits then you have to approach your doctor.
To control these hiccups you can follow some home remedies
1.Holding your breath
2.Drinking a glass of water quickly
3.Pulling hard on your tongue
4.Biting on a lemon, gargling with water.
A physician may prescribe medications such as chlorpromazine haloperidol and metoclopramide for severe, persistent hiccups.
Hope your query is answered.
Thank you.
