Hi,
Thank you for asking question on health care magic.
I do not think that you need to go to a doctor for X-ray immediately.
It doesn't look like a fracture, even if it is a fracture in infants the bones will bend but do not break (green stick fracture).
Maximum you may give paracetamol syrup 2 or 3 times.
Hope this answer will serve your purpose
Please feel free to ask any more queries if required
Take care
