My aunt may have a UTI and is receiving Rocephin shots. Her body temperature is usually around 97.4°F but today it's 96.8°F. Is this concerning, and how low should her temperature go before worrying about sepsis? Additionally, her symptoms include not eating or drinking, strong urine smell, and a pulse in the low 50s while resting. What could these symptoms indicate, and how can Rocephin help?

I have been experiencing pain in my left arm, back of my neck, and head, along with chest congestion. I went to the emergency room, had a chest X-ray, EKG, and blood work, all of which came back normal, and was diagnosed with bronchitis. I am still experiencing these symptoms and am worried about lung cancer or Pancoast cancer. Could these tests rule out lung cancer, and could anxiety be causing these symptoms?
