You can't get sick from sitting in a cold room. You get sick from contracting a virus or bacteria. It is possible that you picked something up in that room. Take your temp and if you have one take some advil and try and rest. Get well soon!

Actually, it's been scientifically proven that you can't get a cold from the cold, but you CAN get sick from sitting inside too long. 5 hours is a really long time to have been sitting without moving, especially if you're concentrating on a test. That may have been the cause of your sickness.

yes take cold medicine you probaly just caught a cold (i cant sleep wit my fan on at night cuz of that)
