Hi

Scabies is characterised by intense nocturnal itching and so if you do have scabies then you should have this symptom. If not, then an allergic reaction needs to be ruled out.

If you are on any other medications then an allergic reaction to them needs to be ruled out as well. Wait for another 2-4 days and also initiate anti-histamine medications to confirm a diagnosis of an allergic reaction.

Best wishes.
