How Can Allergic Reaction To Hot Chilli Sauce Be Managed?

My brother stupidly accepted a challenge to try some sauce from a Carolina reaper. With a Scoville rating of 1.5million. He s feeling weak, can t speak above a whisper. there is a barely noticeable ring of yellow around his pupils. Sys, dia , and bp, are all within range. He s had some milk and bread to help with the heat. Is there anything else I can do to help him pull thru?
