HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
If the rash and itching started after the use of the antibiotics then this means that you are allergic to the medication.
The use of antihistamines would help.
Antihistamines would help even if it is not a reaction to the medication but an allergic response from another source.
If you have a recurrence and the source of the reaction is not the medication then you should consider allergy testing.
I hope this helps
