How Long Do Rashes Caused By Levaquin Take To Get Cured?

My son had a reaction to levaquin - severe hives that will not go away - and has gone on for 6 days and shows no signs of getting better - he was given prednisone for the swelling. How long can this last - what should he do? He has also been taking benadryl daily.
