As someone else has indicated, Codeine is an opiate and opiates cause itching. In hospital this is treated with an antihistamine, often Benadryl, and you can treat it at home with the same drug or other OTC oral antihistamines that are available at the pharmacy. Gravol can also be quite effective for this purpose, or you can save a few $ and buy the generic version Dimenhydrinate, which does not require an Rx but generally has to be asked for at the pharmacy. Dimenhydrinate (generic) is usually available for only a couple of dollars for a bottle of 50 or 100, versus the same cost or more for 10 or 20 tablets of Gravol. The generic form is a popular choice for those looking for a quick and cheap high.
