1 1/2 year old hating bedtime

Hi, I was wondering if anyone has any advice or similar experience? My 19 month old has starting screaming and crying at bedtime and in the middle of the night, not letting me or her dad put her down and is up for 3 hours most nights. This started about 3 weeks ago she caught a cold and had a fever and was quite ill but then got better and then we decided to take her dummy away because she kept coughing and it was becoming more of a nuisance than helping. It's been over a week without her dummy and she has seemed to forgot about it (at least she doesn't ask about it anymore) but this is when the screaming and crying at the night time and bed time starter. She has almost gone back to being like a newborn. Needs rocking and lots of help going to sleep. Are we doing anything wrong, is there anything else we can try? We do a consistent bedtime of bath and story but as soon as we turn the light off and one of us leaves she goes berserk. I should mention she's always had trouble sleeping and we co sleep but she's never fought bedtime before. Any advice would be greatly appreciated ❤

How many day time naps is she having? X

Honestly? I'd be tempted to give the dummy back.
