    You should visit the student health centre and apply for an i grade. http://www2.ul.ie/web/WWW/Services/Student_Affairs/Student_Supports/Student_Health_Centre/I_Grade_Referral_Application_Form

    I have that tonsillitis as well, Can't take and Igrade tho as i'm in 4th year and don't fancy graduating in Jan.

    Honey, Lemon, cinnamon and warm water 2/3 times a day should help with some paracetamol.

    If you feel as though you can't continue during the exam you can let an invigilator know. You will then be brought to the health and usually have the choice thereafter to take some extra time in a quiet room to finish the exam or apply for the I-Grade.
