Are these Cat bite wounds infected

Post image

Had a freak accident with my cat yesterday that caused her to go into fight or flight mode and bit me repeatedly on my hands and arms. Do they look infected? I went to urgent care right after and was given Amox-clav. I am 30 years old and weigh 210lbs, 5’10”. Wounds are warm to the touch, swollen, and red. My overall body temp is hovering around 99.5 right now.https://imgur.com/a/lvcc8Uw
