Help! Mom and dad need to sleep!

My DD who has always been an awesome sleeper (16months) was sick with a cold and ear infection for the last few weeks. She's better now, but after so many nights up sleeping on/with mom and dad she now won't sleep in her crib. She goes to bed on her own like normal around 8 but then wakes up during the night and throws the mother of all tantrums until she is picked up. Last night I tried lying next to the crib and shushing her back to sleep but that didn't work. She cries so hard she makes herself sick. Dad gets frustrated and ends up sleeping in the recliner with her. He's stressed from lack of sleep, I'm stressed because she is so off her routine! I tried just letting her cry it out but she literally makes herself sick screaming. Any advice on how to get her back on track?

    I know when we were doing cry-it-out we use a motified verison where we would go in every 5, 10, 15, 20 ect minutes. Maybe try something like that? I have no other real advice!
