Continuous hiccups since last 60 hours
Had fever and cough on Wed and took tablets from medical store - dexahim 0.5, kuff Q, almox 500 and by night fever went away but cough was there. After taking tabs for 2 times on Wed,next morning at 6AM,hiccups started and never stopped until now. On Thursday went to doctor, they said this is due to gastric and gave perinorm inj and gastric meds but hiccups never stopped and on Friday morning again went to doctor, they gave pantaprazole inj and ondensetron inj and prescribed espra dsr tablet, ondensetron tabs. Hiccups didn’t stop even for a minute until that evening and then went to another hospital where they mentioned this might not be due to gastric but may be due to steroid dexahim and they gave baclofen 10mg at around 5:30PM and asked him to take another after dinner which he did. But in the night, the hiccups became aggressive. He was able to sleep and hiccups stopped while asleep last 2days but yesterday night the hiccups became aggressive and he was awakening every 2 hours.

Persistent hiccups (>48 hours) can be due to multiple causes, including gastric irritation, steroid use, infections, or neurological issues. Since the hiccups have not improved despite medications and are disturbing sleep, this needs a detailed evaluation rather than just symptomatic treatment.
Next Steps
Visit a hospital where a complete workup can be done — including blood tests, chest X-ray, liver/kidney function tests, and possibly an upper GI assessment.
• Review all medications with a doctor — dexamethasone may sometimes trigger hiccups.
• Continue baclofen only under medical supervision.
• If hiccups worsen, or if there are symptoms like vomiting, breathing difficulty, confusion, or chest pain, seek emergency care immediately.
