\fortunately most of the time hiccups go away after some time.or by using simple remedies like holding our breath,or drinking a glass of water. prescription is necessary on if they persist for long time or if occurs regularly.
Hiccups are only found in mammals, and are most common in infants, becoming rarer as animals age. This may suggest that they evolved in order to allow air trapped in the stomach of suckling infants to escape, allowing more milk to be ingested.
