It is completely reasonable to send a follow up e-mail a couple of days (maybe a week) after your first contact with a recruiter. If nothing else, you are able to keep a connection with this recruiter and the next time there is a position available they may think of you.
I would suggest an e-mail/message something simple, suggesting that you are interested in the position and would like more information. The message should be short and to the point.
It is also reasonable to assume that the process to hire a new recruit can take more then a few days. I wouldn't worry too much and after about a week I would send a follow up e-mail.

The other day I received an email from a recruiter from a big company, about a particular role and asked me to give the name, graduation date, VISA status and other details to start the application.
The email came in at evening time, approximately 5pm. I could not see it at that time, I woke up and replied to the email at 4am.
After that there has been no contact from the recruiter and I am worried. What should I do and will the recruiter contact me or not?
