Probably not: You have received a contusion and these take a little time to heal. If the vision is normal and you do not see double, then you just need a little more time for this bump which is probably a bruised healing point to disappear. You might try using local heat to speed this process.

Blunt force to my elbow 2 months ago and had extreme swelling and redness that did not go down for around 2 weeks. I left the injury untreated and anything that touched my elbow caused me a lot of pain. It still hurts to extend or touch. Dr. visit?
