I wouldn't start him on any prescription until he's been tested. The 48 hour rule is a good one. Keep cleaning it with alcohol and watch for redness. If you are in an area where you find ticks, there is a little tick remover that is the best thing I have ever used. It looks like a little spoon with a handle and the spoon part has a slit in it. You slide the spoon with the slit under the tick from the back. Then gently push the spoon upward and the tick will come off with the head still attached. We have used it many times and the head always comes out. I ordered mine from Drs. Foster and Smith.
