One episode of bleeding is nothing to worry about . Because it hasn't repeated. 2nd part of ur question is not clear, u r saying abt swelling or asking if der is any swelling in anus.
Next Steps
consult and get checked by proctoscope. if bleeding reccurs, then colonoscopy is better choice
Health Tips
green leafy vegetables, high fibre diet, plenty of water. less non veg meals
