I have heard there are medications that can stop hiccups. Does your oncologist know about tge hiccups?

My husband has the same issue. He was prescribed Backlofen. He has not had them on his 3rd round of treatment. Will try the meds if they do come. Also try 3 Spanish olives..

The gentle pressure points and or reflexology works well for me. I have done weekly for 1 - 1/2 hours. It also helps with intermittent neuropathy, balance, and so much more.
