Opion: Sometimes, something as simple as Benadryl can help to take the edge off. Strongly brewed chamomile may also help. Any of the STRONG anti-anxiety medications would require a prescription

Trauma: You can suggest that your daughter keep life as normal as possible, eat well, exercise, rest, all the things that help us all to maintain our health. She can consult w/a prudent spiritual leader if she has one. If symptoms persist, she can get support from a mental health professional. Suggest she limits how much she tells the story so as not to re-traumatize. Peace and good health
