Was it total loss of voice or is it Hoarse? Did the doctor say that her vocal cords are normal?
If yes,It's due to Functional Aphonia, Which means stress or anxiety associated loss of voice. A simple test is to ask her to cough. If she can do that, The problem is almost what I described. But, The patients voice box needs to be seen before commenting further
