Hello,
With the question “How are hiccups caused by gastroesophageal reflux?” , the doctor would like to answer as follows:
If your father has taken many medicines but does not help, you need to take him to the hospital to find out the cause of hiccups and choose the right medicine. You should bring all the tests done and the prescriptions the patient took for the doctor to see. That will help the doctor better know the patient's condition.
