If you notice any of those a doctor visit is necessary.

*Edit*
AFAIK at the hopsital, they do not do any proactive antibacterial treatment, so the key is just to identify any changes or symptoms, if nothing develops then you are probably fine.
The bad thing about immediate tests are that your body doesn't produce antibodies right away, plus the incubation period.

OP, I would just go to the doctors and explain what happened and see what they recommend.
