Antihistamines can only reduce the severity of symptoms in an allergic reaction. One of the end results of an allergy reaction is the release of histamine. It is what causes rashes, etc. By counteracting the release of histamine, the antihistamine drug might reduce the severity of the symptom. It does nothing to prevent an allergic reaction.
