No he is not OK. He's itching which means that the fleas are not gone, he has a skin infection, and/or he has an allergy to the flea bites (flea bite dermatitis). Call the vet Monday and get him seen - he may need antibiotics, a steroid shot for the itching, and even a proper flea treatment. He is miserable from being itchy, and if he has a skin infection that is just making him feel worse.
