Having Mono And Tonsils. Taking Antibiotics And Ibuprofen For Sinus. Will Nyquil Help To Sleep?

My 18 year old daughter has mono (diagnosed last Monday). She s on a round of antibiotics (for sinus infection) and had a steroid shot to the hip yesterday. Her tonsils are almost closing up her throat and she is in extreme pain right now. She s been taking ibuprofen regularly for the pain, but nothing is touching the pain. She s in bad shape right now. Is it ok to take Nyquil just so she can sleep? she s in TEARS right now.
