Hiccups
“It’s a sign of growing up”, our mother psychologically comforting us from the disturbing hiccups. Of course we were very young then, so we always thought what our mother told us was the truth and nothing else but the truth.
We have our own children now, but unlike our mother, we learned ways to overcome the annoyance. Sorry mum, but this is what you sent us to school for. Living today, I’m sure the internet will be the young boys and girls first referral for solution especially when parents are at work. So I’m putting this here as reference and guidance to our children and future generation.
“Hiccups are interrupted inhalations caused by the nerves responsible for the smooth rhythm of breathing failing to synchronize. As you inhale, your diaphragm which ought to be relaxing as your lungs fill with air has a spasm and the throat which should be staying open to let air through, shut down.
Ways to get the nerves to synchronize again:-
1) By giving the diaphragm a forced rest that is to hold your breath as long as you can, then exhale very gradually.
2) Non-stop, slow sipping a glass of warm water or try deep slow breathing.
3) By taking a teaspoonful of granulated sugar; a method that children will love involves.
4) By putting brown paper bag over the nose and mouth and breathing in and out repeatedly.
5) By swallowing a lump of cooked rice (let the lump be as big as the throat could swallow).”
All the above has the same effect…. pick one.

My solution to this is the number 1 - the holding your breath for few seconds. Normally i’d tahan nafas for 30 secs. Memang mujarab
I use this method also chegu, more convenient, kan.

if baby how?
My mum thought me to pulled a strand from the baby’s clothing and placed it on top of the baby’s forehead just near the hairline…. just a “petua”. Apart from that I also gave my baby his milk…. so now i’m not sure which one stopped the hiccups.
