No. It is a condescending answer which provides no information. My answer points out that things better than aspirin exist but leaves open the question of what would actually be appropriate for the OP. Essentially, it tells him to explore the matter further.
Why do you think it's condescending?
But is that true? As far as I can tell, the other things that are available are recommended to people who cannot take aspirin for whatever reason, and so to call them "better" seems not quite right.
But saying "explore the matter further" in response to someone saying "is X worth it?" seems profoundly unhelpful, especially when you don't actually say that, compared to saying "explore the matter further by talking to your doctor" or "explore the matter further by looking into miracle drug X."
