What is the anatomy and physiology of a hiccup? Is there a cure for hiccups? Why do we get hiccups? We get them when our friends think of us.
No!!
We get hiccups mainly because of our diaphragm. The diaphragm is a dome-shaped muscle between our lungs and stomach.
You may wonder what to do when a child says, “My tummy hurts.”
Children often experience stomach aches which can be caused by various factors such as illness, constipation, anxiety, or even hunger.

Constipation is infrequent bowel movements, typically fewer than three in 1 week. In many cases, child constipation is short-term & resolves with treatment.
