Answer:

hi

Step-by-step explanation:

Although histamine is involved in anaphylaxis, treatment with antihistamines does not relieve or prevent all of the pathophysiological symptoms of anaphylaxis, including the more serious complications such as airway obstruction, hypotension, and shock.

Answer:

Antihistamines do not prevent anaphylaxis, but they can help manage the symptoms of anaphylaxis once it occurs.

Hope this helps! :)
