I hit my elbow on the corner of a tray table 3 days ago and it has been hurting on and off ever since, should i be concerned?

Depends: You could have suffered a variety of different issues from simple soft tissue trauma to a deeper bone bruise. In rare cases, even mild trauma can lead to subtle fractures. So if your pain is significant or you have range of motion limitation or weakness you should seek an in-person evaluation.

Probably not: I would not be concerned, but in the other hand if it continues I would be seen and evaluated.
