Yes it would... The saliva your mouth produces, provides 'lubrication' as the food is swallowed - making its transition to your stomach easier.

What is the only way of getting rid of hicups?

This is the most consistent method I have found for getting rid of hiccups. This only works though if you catch it early though. If you hold your breath and swallow three times you can get rid of your hiccups. I would advise building up saliva before so that it is easier to swallow. Swallow only about half of it the first time, swallow the last bit the second, and then build up more saliva so that you can swallow again.
