Hi there,
How old is your sister? If she's very young, she may just be going through a phase where she doesn't want to eat. She may be depressed or have some other problem that may be related to her mental health. If she's over 18, you can try an appetite stimulant such as megace or marinol, which can be used to increase appetite.
I hope this is helpful. Feel free to contact me with any questions.
