Tried And Tested Home Remedies To Get Rid Of Your Hiccup Episodes

Hiccups are usually caused by sudden spasms of the diaphragm, which makes the vocal cord to close suddenly. Short episodes of hiccups are nothing to worry about since they often go away on their own. However, if your hiccups become chronic and last more than three hours, you must see a doctor.
There are different home remedies to get rid of hiccups. Here are some easy means to do away with hiccups.

How to Stop Hiccups at Home?

Measured breathing

This is one of the common techniques to get rid of hiccups. A conscience break in the regulated breathing process can put an end to your episode of hiccups once and for all.

Pressure points
Applying pressure on certain important pressure points of the body, one can control your hiccup episode. This activity involves pulling the tongue or applying pressure on the diaphragm.

Carotid artery

The carotid artery is placed just below the ears — the point which is touched while checking for a pulse. Massaging this area is also an effective way of stopping hiccups.

Drinking water

Drinking water does get rid of hiccups, but the process becomes quicker when the water is drunk in combination with some other tactic. For example, hiccups go away instantly when one drinks water while holding the nose to stop breathing. Additionally, drinking a glass of warm water without stopping for breath can also get rid of hiccups.

Distraction

Hiccups can also go away if they are not paid attention. So, if one is having an episode of hiccups, busying themselves in some other activity might help get rid of hiccups faster.

Ice cubes

Ice cubes are readily available in most homes. Sucking on an ice cube can get rid of hiccups easily.

Honey, peanut butter and sugar

Eating either of these things can help you do away with hiccups. In the case of honey and peanut butter, one should allow it to dissolve on the tongue for a while before swallowing. Sucking a slice of lemon can also provide one with the same results. However, it is essential to rinse the mouth with water soon after to prevent corrosion of the teeth because of citric acid.

The next time you get hiccups, make sure to try out any of these tips.

Adhesive gel to repair eye injury without surgery

 American scientists have designed an adhesive gel that can seal wound or ulcers on the surface of the eye, thus sparing the need for eye surgery.

The study  showed that the gel packed with light-activated chemicals can not only close the defect but also regenerate it, the news agency reported.

“We wanted this material to allow the cells of the cornea to mesh with the adhesive and to regenerate over time to mimic something as close to the native cornea as possible,” said the paper’s co-corresponding author, a professor of ophthalmology.

The gel is clear and viscous in a dropper or syringe, but when exposed to blue light in a short time, it hardens to take on features of a native cornea, and the the cornea cells gradually grow into and become one with the gel, according to the study.

The gel is the first to use visible blue light as opposed to ultraviolet light, which carries a level of toxicity.

In a pre-clinical study, the researchers administered the gel at 20 per cent concentration to corneal defects of 3 mm, and applied visible light for four minutes, leading to a firm adhesion to the defect.

One day later, they observed a transparent, smooth eye surface without inflammation. Over time, the tissue regenerated and the new tissue showed few differences with the native one, according to the study.

The researchers expected to start clinical trials to test the technology in human patients in approximately one year.

Corneal injuries are a common cause of visual impairment worldwide, with more than 1.5 million new cases of corneal blindness reported every year. Some of them require corneal transplants that carry risks of post-transplant complications like infection or rejection.
