Suggest Treatment For Accidental Splashing Of Gasoline Into Eyes And Nose

My son-in-law slipped with a can of gasoline in his hands and it splashed in his eyes, up his nose and all over his face. He has a splitting headache now. He rinsed his eyes with water for about 5 minutes, put coconut oil on his skin as well as some peppermint and stress away essential oil on his skin. What else should he do? He is also finding the neti pot to rinse out his nose.
