Detailed Answer:
Hello dear
Welcome to HCM
I understand your concern
Do not be panic.
Acquired infection from tick bites is not very common.
Most of tick bites cause irritation and allergic reaction.
Bite of infected ticks of the Ixodes genus cause lyme disease.
With in 3-5 days of bite, local redness develop at the bite area.
If you have no redness/skin rash, then chance of infection is less.
For that single dose of doxycycline is required.
But you have already taken doxy.

If you have fever and pain, then take acetaminophen to relieve pain.
If you have itching, then apply ointment containg diphenhydramine.
Apply ice packs on the lesion.

Hope I have answered your question
Let me know if you have further question
