Why do we hiccup, and what’s actually happening inside our bodies when they strike?

Find out why hiccups happen, how long they can last, and whether any of the so-called “cures” really work.
Every Saturday, Squiz Kids Science Shorts answers the big, curly questions you’ve been wondering about — breaking down weird facts, everyday mysteries, and the latest science stories in a fun and kid-friendly way. Quick, curious, and packed with answers you didn’t even know you needed.
