Aspirin is a pain reliever with anti-inflammatory effects.

Even at low doses, it reduces the tendency of the blood to clot, and is therefore useful to prevent heart attacks and strokes. The anti-clotting effect means aspirin is best avoided in injuries that tend to bleed. Its anti-inflammatory effects make it useful for tendonitis.

Aspirin can irritate the stomach. The pills should be taken with food (if possible) to prevent stomach upset. Aspirin should be avoided by persons with active ulcers, and by those on anticoagulants (blood thinners). Aspirin decreases the tendency of the blood to clot for many days after a single dose.

Aspirin is anantiinflammatory (a drug that works to decrease inflammation), antipyretic (a drug that works to decrease fever) analgesic (a drug that works to reduce pain). It was really a miracle drug when it was first introduced. I believe it is still one of the most miraculous drugs available on the market, today. It has some side effects, however (e.g., it can cause gastric/stomach pain and even bleeding ulers), and should not be taken without some forethought. Note that other drugs that are antipyretics and analgesics are not necessarily antiinflammatory in action. Your very best resource, when you have a question about over-the-counter (OTC) medications, is your local pharmacist. They may not know as much about Chinese medications or Ayurvedic treatments but they are extremely knowledgeable about U.S. drugs. Do not hesitate to ask them a question. They can save your life.
