Now I checked with doctor and started itraconazole 200 mg capsule n sertaconazole cream. And levocetirizine but I feel things not getting improve and getting uncountable itching. What to do.

STOP QUADRIDERM. It contains CLOBETASOL which is a strong steroid. The problem the you are reporting could be a fungal infection of the skin. It needs to be treated with proper antifungal tablets and creams FOR A PROLONGED DURATION to completely eliminate the infection from the skin. Most common cause of recurrence is premature cessation of treatment. Also your clothes have to be washed and sun-dried and family members need to be treated if anyone else also has it. However without proper examination and confirmation of the cause, treatment cannot be advised. You should send me images through private online consult for a better assessment of the problem and approaching it accordingly. Hope this is helpful.
