8. Hiccups After Gallstone Surgery
Question: I have gallstones and have been taking both traditional Chinese and Western medicine for over eighty days. The stones have now been expelled, but I still experience hiccups. What could be the cause?
Answer: Hiccups are caused by upward movement of stomach qi, and biliary tract diseases are one of the major causes of this phenomenon. This indicates that although the stones have been removed, inflammation still persists. Traditional Chinese medicine, particularly herbal formulas that soothe the liver and stomach while descending rebellious qi and calming the middle burner, is highly effective in treating this condition.
