I'm having these unrelenting hiccups for the past day. It's really getting uncomfortable. Could you please recommend any remedies or medications to help me get rid of them?

you can try these home remedies: Hold your breath for as long as possible. Drink cold water slowly or all at once. Swallow a teaspoon of sugar or honey. Breathe into a paper bag. Gargle with cold water. Eat a spoonful of peanut butter. If these don't work, medications like antacids, metoclopramide, or chlorpromazine can be used under a doctor's guidance.
