That evening I had hiccups every four seconds. We tried everything to stop them. I held my breath and drank cold drinks. My father even tried to give me a shock but that didnt work either.” After a week of sleepless nights, he went to hospital. The doctors took an X-ray of his chest but they couldnt find anything wrong.“They gave me some medicine and my hiccups slowed down, but it was another week before the medicine worked completely and my hiccups stopped.” Harry was very lucky.
