Brief Answer:
It seems to be due to medicine Cifran

Detailed Answer:
Hi & Welcome.

After having gone through the brief history given in your query I am of the opinion that you seem to have developed an allergic reaction to the medicine (the antibiotic Ciprofloxacin).

Further, I would like to know the following details before suggesting you something like;
1. After how many hours of taking Cifran you developed itching and rash?
2. Is this the first time you are having this problem?
3. List the area of your body that is affected by the skin rash or if possible kindly upload the picture of the affected areas.
4. For how long did you take Augmentin? What was the purpose of taking it? When did you stop taking Augmentin? Was there any rash or itching while taking Augmentin?

Awaiting your reply.

Best regards.
