Hiccups are mainly due to swallowing of air while eating or laughing or such activities. The reaction is the body forcing the air out in the form of hiccups. Usually it lasts for a shorter period of time. If you have had this for the past 5 days and this has occurred previously, you should get eit evaluated as it could be due to a nerve irritation or many other causes. This will be seen at a hospital nearby. You might be required to stay in a hospital for a few days for the evaluation. If you found my answer helpful, please leave a like/ thanks. Thank you.
