Should i get checked to see if i have a concussion?

So today i tripped and fell forward but didn't have time to block my fall. I landed on my face(left cheekbone). The initial pain slowly resided like normal but i had a small headache afterwards for about 2 hours, and the pain was mostly kind of on the left side of my head. After that i felt completely normal and have stayed that way until not. I never went to the school nurse(btw i'm a 16 yo boy) and I also didn't have any other concussion symptoms(i could talk and walk normally, didn't feel nauseous). Should I go the the doctor anyway?

    There's nothing a doctor can do for you. If you were dizzy and nauseated and vomited and slurred your words and lost consciousness, then you would need emergency medical care.

    That didn't happen. There's nothing that can be done for you.

    No, ther'es no reason to go to a doctor unless you're having those concussion symtpoms.

    Sounds to me like you are recovered. But, I'm not a doctor, so go if it will make you feel better in your mind.
