0:01:00 > 0:01:04Hello, my name is Dr Ranj. Welcome to my surgery. Are you well?
0:01:04 > 0:01:06ALL: Yes!
0:01:06 > 0:01:08Good.
0:01:08 > 0:01:13But someone's not feeling well. I wonder who my next patient is.
0:01:13 > 0:01:16Who's come to visit me? Who will it be?
0:01:16 > 0:01:19Can you guess which friend it is? Let's see.
0:01:20 > 0:01:23- SHE HICCUPS - It's...Kiwa.
0:01:25 > 0:01:28Whee!
0:01:28 > 0:01:32# I've got wheels and I can ride I can whizz down any slide
0:01:32 > 0:01:34# I've got wheels!
0:01:34 > 0:01:36# I've got wheels!
0:01:36 > 0:01:38# I've got wheels!
0:01:38 > 0:01:40# I've got wheels!
0:01:40 > 0:01:42# The doctor knows I need
0:01:42 > 0:01:44# Adventure, fun and speed
0:01:44 > 0:01:46# I've got wheels! Round and round
0:01:46 > 0:01:48# I've got wheels! Whizzing round
0:01:48 > 0:01:51# I've got wheels! Round and round
0:01:51 > 0:01:56# I've got wheels! Whizzing round I've got wheels! Whoo! #
0:01:56 > 0:01:57Come on in, Kiwa.
0:01:57 > 0:01:58Hic!
0:01:58 > 0:02:03- Kiwa, how are you feeling today? - Oh! Hic! Not good, Dr Ranj.
0:02:03 > 0:02:07- Hic! Not good at all. Hic! - What seems to be the problem?
0:02:07 > 0:02:12Well, I've got this table-tennis game this afternoon with my best friend
0:02:12 > 0:02:16and we've been looking forward to it for ages and ages!
0:02:16 > 0:02:18- But I can't play. Hic! - Oh, why is that?
0:02:18 > 0:02:21Because every time I try to hit the ball,
0:02:21 > 0:02:26this weird noise comes out of my throat. And I miss it.
0:02:26 > 0:02:27Do you think, Dr Ranj,
0:02:27 > 0:02:31it's possible that I swallowed a frog when I wasn't looking?
0:02:31 > 0:02:36- A frog? What makes you say that? - Hic! Did you hear? That was a frog.
0:02:36 > 0:02:40And it's inside my throat, and you have to take it out now!
0:02:40 > 0:02:42You know, I'm sure it's not a frog.
0:02:42 > 0:02:46- Oh, no. Is it something bigger? Hic! - No.
0:02:46 > 0:02:48It's just a common hiccup.
0:02:48 > 0:02:52- A hippo? Hic! - No, not hippo. Hiccups.
0:02:52 > 0:02:55You think I swallowed more than one?!
0:02:55 > 0:02:58No, no, no. Hiccups aren't animals.
0:02:58 > 0:02:59Let me show you.
0:03:03 > 0:03:06Right, Kiwa, this is a model of our body.
0:03:06 > 0:03:08These are our lungs.
0:03:08 > 0:03:11And this part underneath is the diaphragm.
0:03:11 > 0:03:14Oh, lungs and dia...diaph...
0:03:14 > 0:03:16- Diaphragm.- Hic!
0:03:16 > 0:03:21The lungs and diaphragm make a great team because they help us breathe.
0:03:21 > 0:03:25We need to breathe to walk, run, jump, dance, eat, sleep,
0:03:25 > 0:03:26and play table-tennis.
0:03:26 > 0:03:29Hic! Table-tennis!
0:03:29 > 0:03:32When you breathe in, the diaphragm moves down
0:03:32 > 0:03:35and that helps suck the air into your lungs.
0:03:35 > 0:03:36SHE BREATHES IN
0:03:36 > 0:03:39- When you breathe out... - SHE BREATHES OUT
0:03:39 > 0:03:43..it moves back up again, and that helps push the air back out.
0:03:43 > 0:03:46Oh, tell me more, Dr Ranj!
0:03:46 > 0:03:49When you breathe and the diaphragm works normally,
0:03:49 > 0:03:53- it moves up and down smoothly. - HE BREATHES IN AND OUT
0:03:53 > 0:03:57But sometimes, it doesn't work properly. It becomes jumpy.
0:03:57 > 0:04:01So the air in our lungs gets jumpy and that causes hiccups.
0:04:01 > 0:04:03Hic! That's what I have!
0:04:03 > 0:04:05Yes.
0:04:05 > 0:04:08Right, you little diaph...diaph...
0:04:08 > 0:04:10Diaphragm.
0:04:10 > 0:04:12Yes. You need to stop jumping,
0:04:12 > 0:04:15because I have an important table-tennis game.
0:04:15 > 0:04:16Hic!
0:04:16 > 0:04:21Oh! How can I make the hiccups go away, Dr Ranj?
0:04:21 > 0:04:23Let's try breathing exercises.
0:04:23 > 0:04:27That might help your diaphragm work properly and smoothly.
0:04:27 > 0:04:29Take a long breath in...
0:04:29 > 0:04:31SHE BREATHES IN
0:04:31 > 0:04:35- ..and out. - SHE BREATHES OUT
0:04:35 > 0:04:38- And in... - SHE BREATHES IN
0:04:38 > 0:04:40- ..and out. - SHE BREATHES OUT
0:04:40 > 0:04:43I think it helped, Dr Ranj. Thank you!
0:04:43 > 0:04:46Now I can start practising for the game.
0:04:46 > 0:04:49Hic! Oh, no!
0:04:49 > 0:04:53Tell your hiccups it's time for action. It's time for an air quake!
0:04:53 > 0:04:57Maybe breathing really quickly will get lots of air in your body
0:04:57 > 0:04:59and get your diaphragm working.
0:04:59 > 0:05:01Oh, yes!
0:05:02 > 0:05:05SHE BREATHES QUICKLY
0:05:05 > 0:05:06I think it worked!
0:05:06 > 0:05:09The diaph... The diaph...
0:05:09 > 0:05:14- Diaphragm.- Yes! Well, it's not jumping or bouncing any more.
0:05:14 > 0:05:17Hic! Oh. Ha-ha! It is.
0:05:17 > 0:05:20I have another plan. We need to make you laugh.
0:05:20 > 0:05:24- That can gets lots of air into your body.- OK.
0:05:24 > 0:05:25Hic!
0:05:25 > 0:05:27Waah!
0:05:27 > 0:05:28Ha-ha! Hic!
0:05:31 > 0:05:32Oh!
0:05:32 > 0:05:34BALLOON HISSES Ha-ha!
0:05:34 > 0:05:36How do you feel now?
0:05:36 > 0:05:37Hic! Oh!
0:05:37 > 0:05:41Why do hiccups make such a funny sound?
0:05:41 > 0:05:45That's one for Nurse Morag and her Healthy Helpers.
0:05:45 > 0:05:47- Let's go find out where they are. - Hic!
0:05:50 > 0:05:52Hello, Nurse Morag.
0:05:52 > 0:05:54Hey, what's up, Dr Ranj?
0:05:54 > 0:05:58I'm with Kiwa and she's got a really interesting question.
0:05:58 > 0:06:00Yes. Hic! Oh. Sorry.
0:06:00 > 0:06:04Um, why do hiccups make such a funny sound?
0:06:04 > 0:06:06That's a good question, Kiwa.
0:06:06 > 0:06:11My Healthy Helpers can tell you why hiccups make that funny sound.
0:06:13 > 0:06:16# Catch that ball, it's your go
0:06:16 > 0:06:19# Give me questions, catch and go
0:06:19 > 0:06:21# Healthy Helpers will show and tell
0:06:21 > 0:06:23# How you can keep fit and well
0:06:23 > 0:06:25# Catch that ball, it's your go
0:06:25 > 0:06:28# Give me questions, catch and go
0:06:28 > 0:06:30# Healthy Helpers will show and tell
0:06:30 > 0:06:33# How you can keep fit and well
0:06:33 > 0:06:36# Ask me what you need to know
0:06:36 > 0:06:40# Catch that ball, it's your go
0:06:40 > 0:06:43# Give me questions, catch and go
0:06:43 > 0:06:45# Healthy Helpers will show and tell
0:06:45 > 0:06:52# How you can keep fit and well Ask me what you need to know
0:06:52 > 0:06:56# Give me questions, catch and go! #
0:06:58 > 0:07:02Hi. Today, I'm in Stockport, and my Healthy Helpers are...
0:07:02 > 0:07:07Hello. My name is Aisha. When I grow up, I would like to be a princess.
0:07:09 > 0:07:13My name is Kyle. I like going on my scooter down hills.
0:07:13 > 0:07:15Hello. My name is Faith.
0:07:15 > 0:07:19I like going swimming and also making milkshakes.
0:07:19 > 0:07:24Hello. My name is Danny. I love riding my bike in the park.
0:07:25 > 0:07:31Now, when you make any noise, whether it's laughing or shouting,
0:07:31 > 0:07:33singing or talking,
0:07:33 > 0:07:37you're using something in your throat called your vocal cords.
0:07:37 > 0:07:40These wobble whenever you breathe out.
0:07:40 > 0:07:45It's the wobbling that makes the sound you're making. In fact...
0:07:45 > 0:07:49they're a bit like one of Dr Ranj's balloons.
0:07:49 > 0:07:52BALLOON SQUEAKS AND HISSES
0:07:52 > 0:07:54LAUGHTER
0:07:54 > 0:07:57HE SHOUTS EXCITEDLY
0:07:57 > 0:08:02That's what happens to your vocal cords. It's like the balloon.
0:08:02 > 0:08:05When the air rushes past the rubber, it makes a noise.
0:08:05 > 0:08:08And whenever you breathe out,
0:08:08 > 0:08:10your breath makes your vocal cords wobble,
0:08:10 > 0:08:15and that creates the sounds. Let's hear you make some sounds.
0:08:15 > 0:08:18After three. One, two, three...
0:08:18 > 0:08:21THEY ALL SHRIEK
0:08:25 > 0:08:30Right, our vocal cords are designed to work when we breathe out.
0:08:30 > 0:08:33You can feel them do it, as well as hear them.
0:08:33 > 0:08:35- Who can make a humming noise? - Mmm!
0:08:35 > 0:08:39- Who can make a high humming noise? - HIGH-PITCHED VOICES: Mmm!
0:08:39 > 0:08:43- Who can make a low humming noise? - LOW-PITCHED VOICES: Mmm!
0:08:43 > 0:08:47OK, now, what I want you to do is to take two fingers
0:08:47 > 0:08:50and very gently put them on the side of your neck.
0:08:53 > 0:08:56And then I want you to hum. Mmm!
0:08:56 > 0:08:57THEY ALL HUM
0:08:57 > 0:08:59HIGH-PITCHED HUMMING
0:08:59 > 0:09:01LOW-PITCHED HUMMING
0:09:01 > 0:09:05- What can you feel? Yes?- Buzzing. - Feel a buzzing? That's right.
0:09:05 > 0:09:09That buzzing happens when your breath leaves your body
0:09:09 > 0:09:12and passes through your vocal cords.
0:09:12 > 0:09:15And that creates the sounds that you make.
0:09:15 > 0:09:17Who is able to sing a note?
0:09:17 > 0:09:20Excellent. Can you do it together?
0:09:20 > 0:09:22THEY ALL SING
0:09:22 > 0:09:24OK! Excellent.
0:09:24 > 0:09:30What I want you to try and do now is sing a long note,
0:09:30 > 0:09:33but breathe in suddenly. I'll show you how first,
0:09:33 > 0:09:37because we're going to make a sound just like a hiccup. OK? So...
0:09:37 > 0:09:40# La... # Hic!
0:09:40 > 0:09:42# La... # Hic!
0:09:42 > 0:09:45# La... #
0:09:45 > 0:09:46Hic!
0:09:46 > 0:09:47# La... # Hic!
0:09:47 > 0:09:50Excellent. That's it!
0:09:50 > 0:09:53That's what happens when you hiccup.
0:09:53 > 0:09:56You suddenly breathe in when you're breathing out.
0:09:56 > 0:10:00The air rushes past your vocal cords and makes a hiccup.
0:10:00 > 0:10:03Now, Kiwa wants her hiccups to stop.
0:10:03 > 0:10:07- Do any of you know how to stop hiccups?- Ooh!
0:10:07 > 0:10:10You need to keep your breath in for loads of seconds
0:10:10 > 0:10:13and then you just...get hiccups all the time.
0:10:13 > 0:10:19That's right. The one I know is when you give someone a little surprise.
0:10:19 > 0:10:24Now, if we give Kiwa a little surprise, she might stop hiccupping
0:10:24 > 0:10:27and she'll be able to go and play table-tennis.
0:10:27 > 0:10:31- Shall we give Kiwa a little surprise?- Yes!- Shh!
0:10:31 > 0:10:34Quietly! Come on, then.
0:10:35 > 0:10:38Where have they all gone?
0:10:38 > 0:10:41I don't know. Nurse Morag?
0:10:43 > 0:10:45Healthy Helpers?
0:10:45 > 0:10:47ALL: SURPRISE!
0:10:47 > 0:10:51Ha-ha! You really surprised me!
0:10:51 > 0:10:54- Get well soon, Kiwa! - ALL: Bye!
0:10:54 > 0:10:58- Thank you, Healthy Helpers. - See you soon, Dr Ranj.
0:10:58 > 0:11:00Thank you. See you soon!
0:11:00 > 0:11:06- So, did it help?- Well, let's wait a little bit longer this time.
0:11:09 > 0:11:12SHE GASPS I think this is it, Dr Ranj!
0:11:12 > 0:11:16- My hiccups have gone.- Your diaphragm is working smoothly again.
0:11:16 > 0:11:20Yes. I can play my game today with my best friend.
0:11:20 > 0:11:21And I can hit the ball.
0:11:21 > 0:11:23Hic!
0:11:23 > 0:11:27# Hic, hic! Doctor, come quick Tell me why my body goes... #
0:11:27 > 0:11:30Hic! Hic! I can't stop it.
0:11:31 > 0:11:35# Hic, hic! Doctor, come quick Tell me why my body goes... #
0:11:35 > 0:11:37Hic! Hic! Oh!
0:11:37 > 0:11:38Hic!
0:11:38 > 0:11:43# Kiwa couldn't stop her hiccupping No matter how she tried
0:11:43 > 0:11:46# Hic, went her body and she didn't know why
0:11:46 > 0:11:51# Hic, hic! Doctor, come quick Tell me why my body goes... #
0:11:51 > 0:11:53Hic! Oh! Oh, stop it!
0:11:53 > 0:11:55Hic! Ooh.
0:11:55 > 0:11:59# Hic, hic! Doctor, come quick Tell me why my body goes... #
0:11:59 > 0:12:02Hic! You see? Hic! Can't stop. Hic! No, no good.
0:12:02 > 0:12:06# Kiwa had a sip of water Then another sip or two... #
0:12:06 > 0:12:07Didn't work.
0:12:07 > 0:12:10# ..It didn't stop the hiccupping So what was she to do?
0:12:10 > 0:12:14# Hic, hic! Doctor, come quick Tell me why my body goes... #
0:12:14 > 0:12:16Hic!
0:12:16 > 0:12:18Oh! Hic!
0:12:18 > 0:12:22# Hic, hic! Doctor, come quick Tell me why my body goes... #
0:12:22 > 0:12:24Hic! I can't...
0:12:26 > 0:12:30# We talked about the hiccups and I told her what I knew... #
0:12:30 > 0:12:31Hic!
0:12:31 > 0:12:34# ..Then we made her hiccups go When we shouted "Boo!"
0:12:34 > 0:12:38# Hic, hic! Doctor, come quick Tell me why my body goes... #
0:12:38 > 0:12:41Hic, hic! Hic-hic!
0:12:42 > 0:12:46# Hic, hic! Doctor, come quick Tell me why my body goes... #
0:12:46 > 0:12:48Hic, hic! Hic-hic!
0:12:48 > 0:12:52Ooh! They've gone! SHE LAUGHS
0:12:52 > 0:12:54Thank you, Dr Ranj, for explaining to me
0:12:54 > 0:12:58all about hiccups and our diaph... diaph...
0:12:58 > 0:13:00- Diaphragm.- Yes!
0:13:00 > 0:13:04I hope it's not going to be all bouncy and jumpy today.
0:13:04 > 0:13:06I'm sure you'll be fine.
0:13:06 > 0:13:08And...before you go...
0:13:08 > 0:13:10Oh!
0:13:10 > 0:13:12Another nice surprise!
0:13:12 > 0:13:15Thank you, Dr Ranj. Bye!
0:13:15 > 0:13:16Bye, Kiwa!
0:13:16 > 0:13:18I'm so glad we managed to help Kiwa.

0:13:22 > 0:13:25Until then, be happy, be healthy.
