A member asked:
What should i do when another person's throat swells and shuts?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
CALL 911: Call 911 as soon as you become aware that the person has any problems with their airway breathing. In this case - you need ambulance response. If the person has allergies - ask them if there is an epi pen - which can be used to temporarily improve their symptoms.
