I agree with all those proposing "water" solutions: rinse the mouth, rinse the reed, as well as the posture ones: keep the head up.

NO spicey, tart, highly acidic, or high-sugar food before playing.

And encourage him to practice those l-o-n-g t-o-n-e-s to increase his stamina: can he play a few measures of sustained notes without drowning?

He should DEFINITELY rinse the reeds after playing as saliva tends to break down reed fibers faster than plain water.

Good luck.
