On her side there are two options. Either she is insecure and jealous still, or she uses that incident as leverage in an argument. At some point it is no longer your action that is the problem, but her response to it. If she can’t honestly forgive you, then the two of you need to break up, soon, or else suffer through this same argument over and over again.
So ask her plainly if she can forgive you or not. Don’t ask what you need to do; you’ve done everything you can. It’s up to her now. Demand an honest answer and if she says she can forgive you, explain that you don’t expect to hear about it each time she is upset anymore. She can still talk about her pain or fear of cheating if it still worries her, but the blame you have should be in the past.
It’s a fine line, and it sounds like this girl may not be able to manage it. If she can’t, you need to let her go. Continuing on this course will only torture you both and lead to a very messy break-up. [ Razhie's advice column | Ask Razhie A Question ]

She needs to forgive and forget but there isn't a lot you can do to help the process along. You have already apologized. You can't do it everyday of your life. She needs to accept it or unfortunately move on. You can't live your life trying to make up for what happened.
I guess what I am trying to say is that you made a mistake. You apologized. If you want the relationship to work out, she cannot be bringing it up or using it against you at every turn. And getting all teary eyed is using it against you, believe it or not.
Sit her down one more time. Tell her you are sorry but you will not be apologising for this again. It has been 4 months. She can trust you and stay in the relationship or she can not trust you and go cry elsewhere. I know it is harsh and maybe not what you want to hear but if she cannot forgive and get past it all, you have no future.
