What causes hiccups in children?

1 Eating food with a lot of gas content

1. Drinking too many drinks will fill the stomach and dilute the digestive juice. The lower the concentration of the digestive juice, the more likely it is to burp. will be heavier.

2. Aerated drinks: Coke and carbonated drinks. The compressed gases emerge from the digestive system with the same force. These things fill the digestive system with excess air, causing burping.

3. Hot tea. The steam from the hot tea will be sucked into the body along with a lot of air, and in order to cool the hot thing quickly, you will blow, which will also suck a lot of air into the body. So wait until the hot tea cools down a bit before drinking it.

In addition, frequent consumption of raw, cold, dry and irritating foods can also cause hiccups.

2 Talking too much while eating can also cause hiccups

If a child likes to joke and laugh while eating, and inhales too much air into the stomach, it can also cause hiccups. So it's best to be quiet while eating. If hiccups already occur, hold your breath as long as possible and swallow the food when you feel the next hiccup coming. Do this 2 to 3 times, then take a deep breath, and then repeat the above actions.

3 Eating too fast and being too full

If hiccups occur after a meal, it is probably because you ate too fast or too full during the meal. Eating too quickly can easily affect the chewing of food and cause stomach discomfort and cause hiccups; while eating too much can easily increase the burden on the gastrointestinal tract and cause hiccups. In particular, people with weak gastrointestinal conditions must chew carefully and swallow slowly to help reduce the burden on the gastrointestinal tract and avoid hiccups.

4 Caused by cold in the abdomen

If you do not pay attention to keeping the abdomen warm in cold weather, or if you are greedy for cold drinks in hot weather and get cold in the abdomen, hiccups can easily occur. This is caused by cold and hot qi invading the body, causing the qi in the body to be unsatisfactory. In addition, what we often call "eating cold wind" can also cause hiccups.
