Intermittent hiccups are a manifestation of what disease and how to treat?

Ask
Hello doctor. I am having hiccups continuously for the past 12 hours. Went to the hospital and was diagnosed with gastritis and acid reflux. However, the phenomenon of hiccups has not subsided and is still persistent. Please ask the doctor that continuous hiccups are a sign of what disease and how to treat it?

Hello. If treating the cause according to the direction of gastroesophageal reflux does not help, you should see a neurologist.
After the examination, the doctor will advise you more about what disease the constant hiccups are indicative of and how to treat them? You can make an examination at a hospital of Vinmec Health System to be examined by qualified doctors.
Looking forward to meeting with you to discuss more about the current situation. Wishing you good health always.
