Hiccups lasting for more than two days definitely needs to be evaluated further and requires treatment. You may be suffering from reflux oesophagitis which is a common cause for intractable hiccups. Diagnosis is mandatory before planning any treatment
Next Steps
Consult nearby physician for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
