What if salivary glands this did not work?
If the salivary glands did not work properly, it could result in symptoms such as dry mouth, difficulty chewing and swallowing food, and an increased risk of dental issues due to lack of saliva to help clean the teeth. This condition is known as salivary gland dysfunction or xerostomia. Treatment options may include medications to stimulate saliva production or artificial saliva substitutes.
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.

If the salivary gland is removed, it can lead to reduced saliva production, which may cause difficulties in chewing and swallowing food.

Treatment options, such as saliva substitutes or medication, may be needed to manage these effects.
