Brief Answer:
No need to see a doctor.

Detailed Answer:
Hello!

Thank you for the query.

If you have not lost consciousness, no headache, nausea, vomiting, blurred vision, dizziness, weakness, sleepiness, no need to see a doctor. Swelling is a normal thing. Lack of bruise and lack of mentioned symptoms allows to assume that the injury was only superficial.
Try to rest. If any of mentioned symptoms will appear, consult a doctor.

Hope this will help. Feel free to ask further questions.
Regards.
