Brief Answer:
supportive care and isolation

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Welcome to Healthcare Magic.
The symptoms your sister is suffering are probably suggestive of viral syndrome.
She should get reviewed by a local Physician for possibility of flu or swine flu if she has recently visited a country in Asia.
She should take rest.
Meantime Decongestant and paracetamol combination will be helpful.
She should ensure nutritious diet and hydration.
It may spread to others so care in separate room is advised.
I hope the advise will be helpful for you.
