If it is not inconvenient I would at least call your doctor - there have been cases (involving very high voltage equipment to be sure) where no outward damage was seen but some internal was done.

For normal household circuits I’d just say learn from your mistake.

A huge number of regular household objects are more than capable of killing you with the voltage they're capable of exposing. Go to A&E. The risk being low isn't the issue, it that the consequence if it's a problem and you don't get it checked out is: you die.

Think of it as an inverse lottery you really really don't want to lose. The outcome, not the odds is what matters in this case.
