I don't usually advocate lying to kids but if the doctor says a flat out no then it may just help, her thinking she has something to keep her calm.
My mother did this with my brother. She gave him herbal vitamin pills and told him they were travel sickness pills. He always fell asleep claiming that the pills made him drowsy. OP, if my DD was that upset about flying I don't think I would take her. If she really wants to go then maybe a fear of flying course or CBT could help.
