Hi there,
Your sister is not alone with this disorder and there are so many with this problem. The best part is … There are drugs(medical) for the treatment of the case and also non pharmacological ( Psychological) management in addition to the drugs.
But don’t self medicate.
Take the treatment under the supervision of a mental health professional.

Yes. There are both medicines that one can take as well as non medical exercises that we call therapies to help with this problem. Consult with a Psychiatrist at the earliest as OCD has a relatively longer treatment.
