Suggest Remedy For Sleeping Problem After Taking Antibiotics For Sepsis

I am taking antibiotics for a recent sepsis diagnosis, but I am still having trouble sleeping. The doctor said this is because my lymph nodes are backed-up and giving my mind an ominous feeling . I am taking pain reliever and sleep aid before bed. Is there something else I can do to better avoid waking and becoming agitated?
