Would suggest having your elbow assessed by a trauma doc or ortho in order to have a proper plan and for peace of mind. In case needed, imaging may be ordered based on exam.

If you are getting better, it is likely a muscle injury and you may watch and wait. If it is not getting better, it would be prudent to see a doctor.
