You do not need to, keep observe the symptom, only go for check up if later on you faint or having headache, nausea or vomit. If current symptoms continue to improve in the next 8 hours, you are safe.

Closed head injuries are rather frequent in life and sounds like a scalp abrasion and local bruising. No reason to seek attention unless symptoms progress
