Default How long would you put up with this before going on a visit to Dr. Kevorkian?

NEW YORK -- A Florida teenager who has been hiccupping for nearly a month has tried many of the remedies suggested by TV show viewers, but to no avail.

Jennifer Mee, 15, started to hiccup on Jan. 23.

She appeared on the "Today" show on Friday to ask viewers for help and received thousands of suggestions, TV station WNBC reported.


She said she tried dozens of them -- including putting a piece of paper on her forehead, munching on white Rolaids and drinking bitters and lemon juice.

Mee went back on the show Monday and said that none of the remedies she tried worked.

"I felt it was going come to this, but not this far, where everybody is sending so much to find out what is the matter with me and how they can help me," Mee said.

She has seen several doctors, but nothing has helped. She hiccups close to 50 times a minute.

Mee's mother said they will keep looking for medical help and even try more of the remedies sent in by viewers.
