Can you get cancer if you hold a cell-phone?

Question 1
Can you get cancer if you hold a cell-phone?...  I just won a blackberry, and I use it a lot.. I always find it in my hands, but whenever I call.. I put it on speaker..

Can you still get a brain tumor if you hold a cell-phone.. i mean its close enought to ur body.. right?

Answers
1)   yes, brain cancer and tumors are caused by holding the cell phone close to your ears. the radiation affects ur brain waves and messes them up. it is recommended to use speaker phone/text - Pure Awsomeness

2)   Not on modern cell phones. - Lindsay

3)   yes.
you WILL get cancer.
and you WILL die.

just look at all the cell phone users that are dying of brain cancer at this very moment........... - anonymous

4)   it increases your chance of a brain tumor. yesterday i heard that men that keep their phones clipped on their pants, loose bone mass where the phone is. - Ask&Answer2009

5)   no, not at all. - Brittneyy :)

6)   Technically you can get cancer from anything that emits heat, ie anything above absolute zero. Therefor the answer is yes/ - Michael

7)   The cell phone cannot cause cancer. The energy levels of the radiation that the cell phone emits are just too low to have any effect on you. - milton b

Question 2
Can strep throat cause tongue and mouth soreness?...  I went to the doctor today, and was diagnosed with strep throat. But my throat is not sore at all, I can talk just fine. However, after drinking a glass of juice and following up with gargling with salt water three days ago, my entire mouth and tongue have been sore. All the sources I've checked do not list this as a symptom of strep. My questions:
~What is the cause of this?
~How can I cure it?
Thank you for your time and consideration. =)

Answers
1)   ask a doctor? - Abortion is Fun?

2)   Suck on a cough drop. I will go away with time. - Lindsay

3)   It was probably the acid from the orange juice combined with the salt water that made your mouth and tongue raw. - Janell T

4)   Well, sore throat is a symptom of Strep throat, so it is completely normal. The reason your throat got sore after orange juice is because orange juice is acidic, and your throat right now is more prone to sensitivity. Just avoid anything acidic like citrus fruits. - starfire0067

5)   Yes, if strep throat progresses enough it can cause sores on your tongue and in your mouth. This is in part because it weakens your immune system and allows bacteria to thrive in your throat. Go to the doctor to cure it. - dgk91

6)   salt and sugar water(juice) will defiantly make your mouth and tongue sore. also strep throat has nothing to do with your vocal chords(voice). You can try to cure it by drinking a lot of water but nothing much you can do about it. btw a cough drop will do nothing. - Seth M

5)   Yes, you need to take her to the ER, with a temp that high you dont want her to have a febral seizure, which is caused by high tempratures, I used to get them when my temp was 102. Take her to the ER so they can get it under control and make her feel better! - ♥Ashley♥

6)   That is a very high temperature. That is her body signaling trouble. take her, better to be safe then sorry. - Never Serious

Question 4
can you get an over the counter antibiotic for bacterial pink eye? I got pink eye again after a few weeks.?...  

Answers
1)   I don't think that there is anything that you can get over the counter. It wouldn't hurt for you to ask a pharmacist if there is. - Never Serious

2)   nope,gotta get a prescription for antibiotic drops. - ~Grace~

3)   No... they do not give over the counter antibiotics as much anymore due to the rising resistance in bacteria to antibiotics.... so you have to go to the doctor.... and a little advice... constantly wash your hands... it will prevent you from getting pink eye

Good luck! :) - Kaela

4)   There are no over the counter antiobiotics. - Lindsay
