I got hives, body aches and chills from cipro (ciprofloxacin) and metronidazole. how long until they leave your system if you have taken them for a week?

Few days: For most medication allergies when the drug was taken by mouth, the reaction such as hives will begin to improve after 48-72 hours. Drug with long half-lives (slow to clear from the system) which are usually taken once a day it may take a few more days.
