How can I cheer my dd up?

She is 3.5, has had pneumonia closely followed by a horrible virus of the high temperature, grumpiness and clinginess variety. She still has a bad cough.

She seems so easily crushed, every little thing makes her cry. Every time she for eg brushes agains a wall or bangs her arm very gently on something she bursts into tears.

Due to all her illness she was watching a lot of tv/dvd/videos and I am gradually weaning her off them, but she seems to have little enthusiasm for anything.

I have had long talks to her, explained how I realise she has been ill but she needs to smile and laugh a bit more etc and that not EVERYTHING is a total drama that should result in massive sobbing fits (which then bring on massive coughing and snot fits)

I just want my happy little girl back. Any suggestions?
