Hives / Itching after tick bite

They got me ---

I was bit by a tick on the back of my head about a week ago. did not think anything of it at the time but have been having hives flash up / have been generally itchy pretty much since. I found this reddit page while trying to find out what the hives meant and am now slightly worried. No bulls eye rash from what i can tell but the bite is on my scalp and covered by my hair.

Did not save the tick but there was blood present when i eventually scratched it off my

Are hives a typical sign of something to worry about? Outside of that - i guess i could say I've been more tired than usual?

Real question is - I have 100mg doxycyclene tablets from an old script. Should I take those as a precaution and wait and see if the fatigue or anything else gets worse?

Thanks!
