How to Stop Coughs - Hiccups are caused by an involuntary contraction of the diaphragm followed by a sudden closure of the vocal cords, which makes the characteristic "hic" sound. By activating the "vagus nerve" and "phrenic nerve" and stimulating the diaphragm through excessive suction, this neural reflex arc can be disrupted, thus stopping the cough.
