Have Delayed Allergic Reaction To Macrobid. Itching On The Body. On Antihistamines

I think I'm having a delayed allergic reaction to Macrobid. I finished a 7-day dose of Macrobid last week, now I have intense all-over body itching, especially on palms and soles of feet. I am taking an antihistamine to help with it, but how long can I expect this type of reaction to last? It has been four days already.
