For my lisinopril-induced angioedema of 1 it was TXA for the win.

Old School Advice.
The tongue hanging out is a very challenging intubation, which can go south fast. You can "protect" the airway by grabbing the top & bottom of the tongue with a 4X4 and pulling. This can be sustained for quite a while while waiting for anesthesia Patient can breathe.
As bad as the swollen tongue looks, there is not generally respiratory distress. No reason for us to create that.
