So to reply to your last post, can there be some latitude taken with that rubric?
This is not a state where hiccough is evident and there is no nausea. The lodged food is not able to move due to the irregular muscular contractions of the esophagus therefore the body initiates the vomiting reflex to get the food out.
Also, this condition is not "activated" by hot drinks or any drinks for that matter.
