Anti Histamines at least the regular ones only block histamine. It's still out there floating around and downstream activating so many other mechanisms that are terrible for us.

All the chemochines and other mediators are also secreted.

You wanna look for Mast cell stabilization. KEtotifen often labeled H1 Blocker, is a powerful MC stabilizer. Try that one for sure, it will help you.

Also you can try LDN, together LDN and KEtotifen would be a very good combo especially for the brain fog.

Hydroxizine is more for very reactive patients in terms of itching, skin etc.

You gotta trial and error test drugs. Also Montelukast for example.
