Intractible Hiccups

Published

Have any of you any suggestions for intractible hiccups? My husband had a partial nephrectomy 11 days ago and has been plagued by them since the first day post op. His surgeon suggests they are the result of an ileus and c. difficle. we've tried thorazine, and reglan with a sleeping pill as well as ativan. the meds snow him and he just keeps hiccupping.

Any ideas?

thanks,

My hubby had eye surgery and the retina doc told him the hiccups he had were from the eye drops. Never heard that but as soon as he finished the drops they stopped.

FYI - for those of you so kind to offer suggestions and support re my husbands' intractible hiccups; we may have found relief! He's taking nexium 1 per day plus Baclofen 10 mg TID.

No hiccups for just about 24 hours.

The silence is deafening!

Thank you all,

Paula
