Hi, Welcome to Health care magic forum.
As you describe there are many scratches, and over all body pains. It shows, there is already infection, in the scratches.
I advise you to consult a surgeon for diagnosis and treatment.
I usually prescribe to my patient with such symptoms ofloxacin, diclofenac sodium, and paracetamol.

Take more of green leafy vegetables, pulses,sprouts, and protein rich foods.
Wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.
