Sick During LSAT

OK need some advice here. I've managed to develop a cold just before the LSAT, and I'm worried that I'll be coughing/sniffing/etc. during the exam. I have permission from LSAC to bring cough drops and tissues, but I can only access them during break. I've invested in some DayQuil and pseudoephedrine, and they help but not enough. I would really hate to be that person annoying everyone else. Any advice??

What kind of cold? Is it something a shot of Jack can help with? If so, I'd advise taking copious amounts before the test (after driving there). It may make your logic improve and help you with issues of second-guessing yourself (if you have those problems). So basically this:

If that is out of the question (I don't know why it would be), a saline solution squirted up your nose is an effective clearant for nasal congestion and a throat lozenge/cough drop can be hidden in your cheek while you check it. In your cheek it will also be exposed to less saliva, making it last longer. If you can hold it towards the back of your cheek as well, it can effectively numb part of your throat where the coughs are generated.
