With the question “Sudden cyanosis, glottis edema is what disease? ", the doctor would like to answer as follows:
Such acute cyanosis, glottis edema is usually due to severe anaphylaxis to drugs or food. This is a life-threatening emergency.
Therefore, you should take the hospital to an emergency and ask the doctor carefully to see what the anaphylaxis of your loved one is and will be consulted more by the doctor.
