Tick Bite in 4 year old

Hello

just looking for a bit of general advice, over the weekend we were in a country park and my youngest came up in a few bites (as did all the kids) now he suffers badly with bites & a holiday last year needed 5 day course of antibiotics. Anyway, he’s not been bitten this year so didn’t think to use bug spray and he came up in a few red spots as they do. Anyway fast forward until this morning three of them have gone really nasty, two with blisters on. I took him to a walk in this morning and they noticed one was a bulls eye and possible tick bite so he’s on antibiotic (amoxicillin) for three weeks. Do I need to worry about Lyme disease long term? Or will the tablets kill anything off? There’s no tick there now. Photo attached of the bullseye one.
Thanks
