| Abstract: | According to Ayurveda, Hikka is a serious disease in which the patient may die if not given the proper treatment. The main cause of Hikka is due to vitiation of vata and kapha dosha and also due to some unwholesome foods and regimen. The vitiated vata dosha along with kapha dosha causes obstruction to pranavaha, udakavaha and annavaha srotas and produces Hikka roga1. Hikka can be correlated with Hiccup in modern science. Hiccups are the involuntary contraction of the diaphragm and intercostal muscles followed by an abrupt closure of the glottis, are a bothersome symptom that can be caused by a variety of illnesses or medications2. Most hiccups are self-limiting but that which persists for more than 48 hours should raise the suspicion of an underlying cause. Recently in Covid-19 infected elderly patients, a growing number of cases pertained to persistent hiccups have been reported. According to modern medicine management of hiccups many drugs are being used but not particular treatment is known to be especially effective.3 This case study highlights the manifestation of persistent Hikka (Hiccups) associated with COVID-19 in an elderly patient and demonstrates the scope of Ayurvedic management of Hikka with Nayopayam kashayam with a successful outcome. |
