hiccups in big children usually occur due to acidity as well as gas in the stomach and intestine of the child.
it is important to give plenty of water to drink as well as easily digestible food made at home.
it is self limiting problem and will decrease but if it is occurring again and again then it is advisable to complete a course of antacid.

As such normal only.
Avoid hot and spicy food, even for trial purpose.
Even avoid fried or outside food.
Between food pipe and stomach there is a stomach valve.
Still the child's stomach valve is weak so little bit of acidity in stomach can cause irritation to food pipe and then hiccups
