Hello,
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
The symptoms seem to be related to an allergic reaction to nitrofurantoin.
I suggest using Cetirizine 10 mg daily to relieve the itching.
I also recommend to consult your doctor about an alternative medication.
Hope my answer was helpful.
If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.
Kind regards!
