Please ask your sister to go back to the doctors and get the condition diagnosed and treated. She is not going to get better on her own, and the complications can be life threatening.

Please have her follow up with her doctor. The symptoms you are describing may be partially from reflux but may also be from other causes. It’s important to properly diagnose to have proper treatment and not miss an underlying cause that may get worse.
