打嗝可能是一种令人烦恼的经历，但要找出如何停止打嗝却更为棘手。据一位医生在TikTok上的建议，某些类型的水果或许能帮助缓解这一症状。（详见文章顶部的视频）。问诊医生：什么导致了打嗝？我该如何摆脱它？“一个简单而有效的方法是——将柠檬汁或青柠汁滴入喉咙后部。”他在最近的一段视频中说道，“这样几乎可以立即停止打嗝。”
这位拥有近40万TikTok粉丝的医生说，尚不清楚为何这种方法有效，但他提出了几种可能的原因。“首先可能是迷走神经的刺激作用，这条神经从大脑延伸至膈肌下方。”他解释道。饮用柠檬或青柠汁可以“重置来自膈肌的感觉输入，并停止打嗝模式”。他还补充说，这个技巧也可能是通过激活喉咙后部或食道的肌肉来起作用。“第三种可能的原因是吞下一点柠檬或青柠汁能改变喉咙后部的声音。”
此外，这位医生还推测，这种做法或许只是一个简单的分散注意力的方法——“一种突然的感觉输入可以立即停止打嗝。”
在TikTok平台上，用户们对这位医生的建议表示感谢，并提出了自己的建议。一位用户写道：“我的科学老师曾让我们捏住鼻子、堵住耳朵再喝水。”另一位用户则说：“我一生都在寻找这方面的信息。”
什么是打嗝？打嗝被定义为“膈肌反复抽搐并伴有声带闭合发出‘hic’的声音”，据克利夫兰诊所的说法。通常情况下，当某些东西刺激到神经时，会导致膈肌收缩。根据克利夫兰诊所的说法，还有不同类型的打嗝。短暂型最常见，持续几秒或几分钟。
一些潜在的治疗方法包括屏住呼吸、喝冷水、按压眼睛、拉舌头、咬柠檬、用纸袋深呼吸，或者吞一勺糖。Fox News Digital联系了伦敦医生进行进一步评论。
如果打嗝持续数小时或频繁发生并影响基本功能，建议寻求医疗帮助。据伊利诺伊州芝加哥的董事会认证家庭医生马克·劳夫曼此前对Fox News Digital所说，人们应在此情况下咨询医生。
虽然大多数情况下，短暂而无害的打嗝是常见的现象，但持续性打嗝与一些慢性甚至严重的健康状况有关，包括中枢神经系统障碍、糖尿病、肾病和食道问题等。
原文摘要：
Getting the hiccups can be a frustrating experience — but figuring out how to stop them can be even more perplexing. It’s possible that certain types of fruit could help with the condition, according to one doctor, who posted his recommendation on TikTok. Dr. Jeremy London, a heart surgeon based in Savannah, Georgia, uses his social media account to discuss health-related topics. (See the video at the top of this article.) ASK A DOCTOR: ‘WHAT CAUSES HICCUPS, AND HOW CAN I GET RID OF THEM?’ “A simple and effective way to stop the hiccups — drip lemon juice or lime juice into the back of the throat,” he said in a recent video. “It’ll stop them almost immediately.” The doctor, who has nearly 400,000 TikTok followers, said it’s unknown why this is effective, but offered some potential reasons. COTTAGE CHEESE BACKING HACK BLOWS UP ON TIKTOK: ‘BEST IDEA I’VE EVER SEEN’ “The first may be stimulation of the vagus nerve, which runs from the brain down to below the diaphragm,” he said. Consuming lemon or lime juice can “reset the sensory input from the diaphragm and stop the hiccup arc,” London suggested. This trick might also work by activating the muscles in the back of the throat or the esophagus, he added. The doctor’s potential third reason why consuming a bit of lemon or lime juice could get rid of hiccups is the “sudden change in pitch in the back of the throat.” WEIGHT-LOSS COACH SHARES CATCHY FITNESS ‘HACK’ ON TIKTOK AS NUTRITIONIST HAS HER OWN TAKE It’s also possible, however, that the hack is just a simple distraction, London said — “a sudden sensory input that stops the hiccups in their tracks.” TikTok users on the platform thanked the doctor for his advice while also offering their own suggestions. One user wrote, “My science teacher used to have us hold our nose and plug our ears and take a drink of water.” Said another used, “I’ve been searching my entire life for this information.” What exactly are hiccups? Hiccups are defined as the “repeated spasms of your diaphragm paired with a ‘hic’ sound from your vocal cords closing,” per the Cleveland Clinic.

There are also different types of hiccups. Transient is the most common, lasting a few seconds or minutes.

Some potential hiccup cures are holding your breath, sipping cold water, pressing on your eyes, pulling on your tongue, biting into a lemon, breathing into a paper bag — and swallowing a spoonful of sugar. Fox News Digital reached out to London for further comment. When should you seek medical attention? People are advised to seek medical attention if hiccups persist for hours at a time, are frequently recurring or interfere with basic function, Dr. Mark Loafman, a board-certified family physician with Cook County Health in Chicago, Illinois, told Fox News Digital previously.

These can include central nervous disorders, diabetes, kidney disease and esophageal issues, per the Mayo Clinic. Erica Lamberg contributed reporting.
