It’s known that sneezing is a reflex to prevent dust or nose hairs or whatever from getting down into the lungs, but why do people and animals sometimes get hiccups? What function does that serve, and what causes them?
Also, bonus points for any random useful tips on how to make hiccups go away…
I give myself hiccups if I cough too hard. It sucks. Also if I eat food that is too spicy, which sucks because I love spicy. Too bad lol I eat it anyways and just deal with the hiccups.
