I'm no doc, but...
Could just be a strained/otherwise-agitated muscle.
See a doc if it bothers you... or if there's any pain or discoloration, for sure.
But if you'd prefer to try a home remedy first, take ibuprofen and ice it.. the swelling should go down.
Again, assuming there's no pain or discoloration to speak of (if there is - go to a doc immediately), I'd also stretch it out regularly.... 5-or-so times a day, at least.
If the swelling doesn't go down in a day or two after icing it and taking anti-inflammatories regularly - even if there's no pain, you might consider going to see a doc.
Bottom line - it can't hurt to see a doc... if that's an easy road for you, I'd take it, myself.
