Are hiccups a sign of vomiting?
My toddler often gets hiccups, and sometimes right after, he vomits a little. I'm trying to understand if there's a connection. Do hiccups usually precede or indicate that vomiting is about to happen?

No need to spend money on expensive doctors or stomach medications for this. Just try resting and having some ginger tea at home. If the vomiting actually starts and doesn't stop for 24 hours, only then plan a clinic visit to avoid unnecessary bills.
