hiccups

Brodie always was a big time hiccupper. He still gets them at 2-1/2 years old, after a long laughing spell. He used to get them alot in utero, and then as a baby. I was told it is a symptom of reflux when they are babies, but I don’t know about as a toddler from laughing. RLM4262006-12-12 16:4:53

Frequent extended hiccups is a common symptom of reflux. Both my girls get them all the time and they last forever. Alexis still gets them if she very active and laughing. Taylor use to get them more when she was younger but when she gets them they last forever! Both girls never seemed bothered by them.

Sarah has hiccups every once in a while, but not nearly as often as before the PPI. She used to get them probably once a day or so and now it’s maybe once or twice a week. Sometimes they seem to bother her and sometimes they don’t!

My 3 year old former refluxer still gets them too after a long laughing spell. They last forever for her as well. I didn’t think about them still be a symptom of her reflux, but it makes sense. She still sometime will complain after a burp or a hiccup that she has throw up in her mouth. My son also gets them a lot.. more before the medicine too, but the pediatrician just laughed when I asked him if they were a symptom of reflux. Shows what he knows, huh?
