How can I deal with hiccups while at home?

DonnyBoy, My husband who is being treated for CIDP with infusions of methylprednisolone has developed severe hiccups several times after treatment. His neurologist prescribed odansetron (Zofran), which I guess is typically used for nausea, but can also be used for hiccups. He never had to use it, as the problem subsided on it's own. He still gets occasional hiccups, but much less severe. Good luck and I hope yours go away soon. Most people don't realize how horrible hiccups can be!

Thanks for your husband's story, for a possible medication, and for your sympathy. I am going to reach out to my neurologist and see if she thinks medication could help. My own hiccups, which have been extensive and demoralizing, may be calming down. Like your husband I may not need the medication by the time I get it!
