When you get hiccups, what’s your favorite cure? Maybe you drink a glass of cold water or you breathe into a paper bag?
Dr. Ali Seifi, FNCS, FCCM, an associate professor at the University of Texas Health Science Center San Antonio, says he has invented something better than any home remedy: a drinking straw that cures hiccups.
His device, called the HiccAway, uses the scientific principles behind hiccups to cure them in a simple but effective way.
