DEAR DR. GOTT: I have a hiccup remedy that works. Stop up both ears with your fingers while drinking water. Because the act takes three hands, you’ll need someone to lend one. This is a surefire way to stop them quickly. I love your column, wisdom and humility.
DEAR READER: Well, the remedy is certainly worth a try. Now all we have to do is only get the hiccups when we have a third party to hold the glass of water! Does using a straw not work for this remedy? This might even beat holding your nose until they stop or bending over while drinking from the backside of a glass. Thanks for writing.
