Hi and thanks for the query,
Hiccups frequently occur in gastro esophageal reflux disease.
You have to see your doctor.
You may need an antacid, a prokinetic and baclofen.
You may need an upper GI endoscopy to know the exact cause of hiccups.
Till then eat at regular intervals, raise the head end of the cot by 2 inches by placing a brick and avoid alcohol.
Regards, dr Kishori.
