What are side effects from taking cough syrup with codeine?

I just had my tonsils removed and that's what they gave me for pain. Even though it is taking the pain away from my bleeding throat, my entire body is extremely itchy!! It feels like I have hives everywhere. Is this a normal side effect?

    Yes. All opiates can cause itching. It is quite well known by drug addicts.

    And there are many more side effects from codeine.
