Hello dear, welcome to Ask a doctor service.

I think this is nothing serious since no bruising and swelling us present and no hoarseness voice are present.
This should get better the following hours and days. If you experience bruising or swelling go to ER.
Meanwhile take acetaminophen for pain.
Hope I have answered the question.
