In normal days, under normal circumstances.. I will always use one and only method working for me. U see, some people would gulp a glass of water, some will wet small piece of paper/newspaper and tampal kat dahi (mostly applied to babies) and I've heard some people will apply hot oil on their tumit... In what way tumit related to hiccup still remain mystery. Hanya Allah yang tahu... Kalau sakit perut tu pernah la dengar sapu minyak panas kat tumit ngn betis heheh..

Anyway, Alis and Erin ade penyakit pelik. Once they laugh their heart out, atau dengan kata lain ketawa mengilai ,mengekek, berguling x control ayu, they will ended up having hiccup the very moment they stop laughing. Senyum atau sengeh atau merenyih somewhat tak jadik pulak... De mcm ade standard piawaian. When they laughing up to certain frekuensi, derang akan hiccup. Pernah jadik tak kat anak korang??

I used to asked doctor about this when Alis was a baby since she had quite a lot of hiccup series and won't just go away if given plain water or tampal kertas ajaib kat dahi and the doctor replied that it was normal symptom and we just hv nothing to worries. Bg air segelen pun x kan resolved the problem. Just leave it as it is.

Akan tetapiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii........

Sebagai ibu yang punye hati dan perasaan, tidak kesian ke anda melihat anak anda tersedu sedu. I've tried normal conventional way which is togok la air masak byk byk. Tak ilang gak, tukar lak kepada yg lebih bersifat kontemporari, kite minum air sirap pulak, tak jadik gak minum strawbery milk lak.....Ilang hiccup ganti kembung, tak pun asik nk membese

(kencing) jek keja...hahahha.... In between suruh minum air, normally I will ask my kids tu calm down, stop laughing or whatever we were doing that triggered the hiccup symptom... And as mysterious as it could be , sometimes it does go away which giving me below idea.

Before I revealed my hiccup trick ( cheh cheh cheh ...cam bagus bagus )..Please take note I have no scientific proven that my method will make hiccup go away. I dun have any research lab built for me with thousand volunteer to test my theory coz apparently I'm the only volunteer I can find that willing to do stuff beyond normalities hahahhaha... Even En Muddy tend to laugh at my theory when I generously shared with him my petua back then. Not believing is one thing, he will tend to sarcastically poisoned my kids when i tried to taught them my petua. He will goes like this : "Haaaa cepat cepat , mummy start doh tuh petua hiccup dier tuh.. cepat cepat buat cepatt... hahaha hahaha" ..

Sangat tak kelakar okayyyy!!....Tobat kecik hati setahun...

Okay, enough crap... petua nyer begini...

When you're having hiccup ... All you need to do is...

2)Distract yourself. Think about some other else. Good stuff is recommended. Go to your happy place. Jangan la time tu lak nk pikir tak bayar lg bil api, bil air, kicap tak beli, sampah luper buang.... Confirmed, hiccup tak ilang, migraine datang bertamu hahhaa

3)Pabila dah dapat jumlah ketenangan yang diperlukan, hold your breath to certain amount of time berdasarkan kemampuan and then telan air lior as much as u can.

What i noticed was, hiccup ni makin menjadik bile kite bernafas or panicking or melayan ke-hiccup-an itu...so by menahan nafas dan telan air lior, secara indirectly kite menghentikan proses hiccup... Konon macam hiccup tu dh sampai kat dada, then kite hold our breath dan telan air lior, umpama kite swallowed balik hiccup tu ...reverse phsychology cenggitu ! Geli ? air lior sendiri pe, bukan suh telan air lior jiran sebelah ..duhhhh !

Okay anda dibenarkan gelak sekarang...gelak la...sila sila gelak....

Dah abes gelak ?? Okay sambung.....

Try to hold as long as u can and telan as much as u can !

4)Keep repeating langkah 1-3 jika percubaan pertama tidak berjaya :)

Insya allah, with Allah permission, hiccup itu akan ilang dengan jaya nyer... hahahha

It may or may not work base on keserasian dan dan tahap keterror-an si tester. Nevertheless, it was still worth a try and definitely worth a post ...

On a brighter note, Alis ngn Erin selalu mixed up hiccup dengan sendawa. See, they are taught to recite Alhamdullilah after sendawa, bersin and they thought sesedu(hiccup) was in the same category. Just imagine they say alhamdullilah after each and every hiccup and most of the time things will turn out like this

"hicccc ( sound effect of hiccup. please nasalised it to get more effect-it may vary from others based on umur dan kebesaran anak tekak) alhamdu hicccc ....alham hiccc al hiccc..... and on and on and on.. hahahaha so funny.. We did correct their confusion after that but definitely after few minutes la kan.. They're so hiccc damm hiiccc funny hiccc ..."
