PLEASE HELP4 year old with mono not able to sleep

My daughter was diagnosed with mono on 2-9-13. She has had low fever that comes and goes since 2-7-13. Since 2-9-13 she has had hacking cough that has prevented her from sleeping much. The cough is now wet and there is chest congestion. She throws up yellow clumpy mucus.

-Symptoms much worse at night and when laying down. Her bed is propped up on incline but no improvement.

-symptoms better sitting up

-she is sensitive to bright lights and loud noises. Bossy, outgoing, affectionate nature, must b center of attention, happy, confident. Currently somewhat enjoying the attention she's getting from the illness so not in bad spirits

-poor appetite since ill.. Typical desires cheese, breads, sweets

-taking mercurius solubis and Apis mellica. No improvement.

-history of repeated strep throat

-watery eyes, lethargic, gas, pale and grayish color. Pain in lower stomach near groin when coughing now, raspy throat from coughing, sniffling but nothing is blown out of nose. Occasional sneezing.

Please respond quickly, her coughing is terrible and she cannot sleep. Thank you in advance.
