Side-effects of cell phone radiation
Hello Dr.Joshua,
I have been using cell phones for almost 4 years now and i have recently noticed that if I talk for more than an hour per day over the phone, within a week a painful cyst forms in the inside of my ear , It goes away gradually if I switch to hands-free while attending calls.
I am afraid it is due to the radiation, I have no clue if it has any long term effect on my brain!
Please advice.

I doubt that any acute problems such as cysts could be caused by cell phone radiation.

Thank you very much for your reply.
Would you recommend seeing a doctor in this case? I ask this since I don't have that painful cyst now,but had a black out two years ago & had taken all scans possible of my brain with very normal results. Am afraid if all these are correlated.

Exactly I was thinking about this too. So far there have been no cases reported that can be said to be a problem due to the cell phone radiation. But lets not forget there was a time when a lot of hue and cry were raised for the use of cell phones and some health advocates were convinced that these are harmful for our health. So I thought why not ask the doctors here about this, can health related problems from cell phones really arise?
