Lack of sleep -always ill

Pre baby, never really ill. Maybe 1-2 viral infections/colds a year. Since having DD1, in particular since her starting nursery I am ill probably once a month. A cold, a tummy bug, currently knee deep in tonsillitis. She is a poor sleeper. I mean really poor and so the sleep deprivation is real. For context, I work on an acute medical ward so I am used to exposure to illness. I know that she's probably bringing lots home from nursery and naturally I'm more up close and personal to my toddler than to my patients.

Any advice? Things I should be doing? Taking? I guess there's not a replacement for sleep but I am so sick of being sick!

Ps. Had bloods done last month and was severely vitamin D deficient. Have since been taking a high dose supplement. (One month)
