Lindsay Lohan in court with attorney Mark Heller (l.) on Wednesday

A Los Angeles judge doled out a prescription for Lindsay Lohan when the troubled starlet came into court Wednesday after claiming she had the flu: double doses of doubt and sarcasm.

Judge Stephanie Sautner first stared down the “Mean Girls” star â€" clad in a sleeveless Chanel sheath and bare legs â€" and shook her head dismissively. Lohan’s new lawyer, Mark Heller, previously said she planned to skip the mandatory hearing due to an upper respiratory infection, but the oft-arrested actress reconsidered and hopped a flight from New York with just hours to spare.

“Glad to see you’re feeling better,” Sautner said a few minutes into the pretrial hearing for Lohan’s misdemeanor car crash case. “Thank you,” the actress replied.

Sautner then asked: “Is that a cold?”

“Yes,” Heller replied. “In New York City, it’s the flu.”

“No it isn’t,” Sautner, a former New York City police detective, shot back. “I still have New Yorker in me. The flu is a whole different test.”

Heller then referred to the current flu “epidemic” in New York, saying Lohan’s doctor recommended she avoid air travel “not only for her protection but that of the general public, which includes everybody in this courtroom.”

“She shouldn’t have come,” Heller continued. “She wanted to show respect to the court, and she did feel better. And she’s here.”

Lohan was accompanied by her mom, Dina, who sat in the front row, reports the News’ Nancy Dillon.

Prior to arriving at court, the duo drove from LAX to the posh seaside hotel Shutters early Wednesday, but were turned away due to a history of bad behavior, Lohan’s father, Michael, confirmed to Confidenti@l. “I felt horrible for them,” he said. “When Lindsay was on top, everybody wanted a piece of her. Now that she’s having difficulty no one wants to help.”

Michael was unable to make the hearing, choosing instead to be in Florida with girlfriend Kate Major as she delivered their son, Landon Major Lohan, that afternoon. He told Confidenti@l afterwards, “[I’m] unbelievably happy, but I still love all my kids!!"

Michael adds that he’s now on good terms with his ex, Dina, saying, “It was great she went out there with Lindsay.”

The “Liz & Dick” star was in L.A. to face three misdemeanor charges of lying to a police officer, reckless driving and obstruction stemming from a June traffic accident. Sautner set Lohan’s next hearing for March 1.

SCOUTS HAVE BIG DAY OUT

The Boy Scouts of America started a fire this week without rubbing any sticks together, and now celebs including Neil Patrick Harris, George Takei and Ellen DeGeneres â€" who are all out and proud â€" are fanning the flames.

On Wednesday, Takei, a former troop member, posted a mock scout patch on his Facebook page with a logo reading “I Support Inclusive Scouting.” The badge, created by the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD), comes with a banner reading “Takei Stand! Tell the Boy Scouts you support ending the ban at www.glad.org/scouts/tellbsa.

Takei, a popular Howard Stern show regular who also played Sulu on the original “Star Trek,” also included a message to Internet friends, asking them to call a number the Scouts have set up so the public can offer feedback.
