Yes. Follow-ups are important. Even if your condition has started to improve, your PCP can help you find what caused it & possibly help keep it from recurring. See if you can get a friend or relative to give you a ride & do the follow up.

Did Dr. give you something that is supposed to make it go away in a day or two? I doubt that. So if you still have it, yes, you should go to your usual PCP for ongoing care. It is important for many reasons. One of my own is that the medication I was given began to give me one of the lesser known reactions and I could share that with my regular clinic and they switched medications. The followup is to make sure you are responding to the help from ER and that you are getting better. If you ignore symptoms or its not going away at the rate you were told it should be gone, seeing your regular Dr. is also good for this. If what they try isn't helping, they are the ones who can refer you to a specialist if needed.
