Default Antihistamines and brain injuries

My mom is trying to push me to take antihistamines, more specifically cetirizine. She says that a friend's son who experienced a severe concussion takes them and they help control some of his symptoms.

I thought a decongestant like pseudoephedrine would be more likely to help.

FYI, I do notice a connection between sinus congestion and periods of poor symptoms.

Does anyone think there is any truth to this?
