It is a condescending answer which provides no information.
Why do you think it’s condescending?
My answer points out that things better than aspirin exist
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.
Essentially, it tells him to explore the matter further.
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.”
