[|Human|] My husband had a hip replacement surgery 6 days ago. After surgery he got the hiccups. We were told that is common after surgery if you had the general. He had the spinal. The hiccups last more than an hour at times and he gets them several times a day. Several people have given us ideas to stop them. Nothing has worked. Could this be something serious that needs medical attention?
