It’s known that sneezing is a reflex to prevent dust or nose hairs or whatever from getting down into the lungs, but why do people and animals sometimes get hiccups? What function does that serve, and what causes them?...
I heard that works because you have to concentrate on it so much, you forget to have hiccups. Holding your breath and then swallowing 5 times without breathing can also help.
Do hiccups serve any actual useful biological function?
