Brief Answer:
Aspirin will not help you

Detailed Answer:
hello

The loss in voice is due to inflammation/edema of the larynx/voice box and will come back to normal once the inflammation subsides.

The best thing would be to take absolute voice rest and not to utter even a single word. I would also recommend that you take steam inhalation 2-3 times a day and avoid spicy and oily foods.

I would normally start my patients on tablet pantoprazole 40mg to help control the acidity and acid reflux and a short course of steroids like deflazacort 6mg twice a day for 5 days.

Please discuss this with your doctor. Aspirin is a good drug but will not reduce the inflammation in the larynx and may worsen acidity, thereby causing more harm hence i would not recommend its use.

Take care

Brief Answer:
Controlling acid reflux will help the larynx

Detailed Answer:
Hello

Your are absolutely correct in assuming the cause for voice loss being a viral infection. However there is a lot of scientific evidence to prove that acid reflux worsens this condition and leads to delayed recovery and therefore I start all my patients on acid reflux medications empirically.

Along with this a short course of steroids and steam inhalation will definitely help you.

Hope I have answered your query satisfactorily

Take care
