Need help with settling my 7 month old following tummy bug

My 7 mo dd has recently recovered from gastroenteritis, but she has become very unsettled.
Before she got it, she was such a happy little thing all of the time, she always went to sleep in her cot with no problems at about half 6 to 7 at night and slept through until about 6. If she did wake, she'd just chatter for a while then go back to sleep.
I understand it may take a little while for her to recover completely, but I was wondering if anyone had any advice on how I can help her settle. She has also started crying whenever I put her on the floor to play, or even just on her mat to change her nappy.
Any advice gratefully accepted

The poorliness could have co -insided with the start of seperation anxiety. Which is typical for this age. This phase will pass. Be patient and give all the cuddles she needs.

Thank you bumbums, I did wonder about that, I've been reading a bit about it. I'll just keep trying to keep her night time routine the same, I think she's more unsettled when there's change.
I'm a bit worried as we're also moving house soon, it'll be a lot for her to cope with.
