Hi
You have not mentioned the name of the antibiotic that was prescribed.Antibiotics can cause allergic reactions.Antihistamines can be taken to reduce itching.Incase of persistent allergies,kindly stop the drug and visit your physician for alternate antibiotic.
Hope that was helpful.Let me know if i can assist you further.
