This quiz explores various aspects of hiccups, including their causes, triggers, duration, and treatments. Test your knowledge of why hiccups occur, how to alleviate them, and their potential links to other medical conditions. Prepare to uncover interesting insights and dispel misconceptions about these spontaneous spasms!
