If she has been barking a lot recently it is possible that her 'voice' is hoarse and that her bark will return in a day or two. If you think this might be the case there is nothing specific I'd recommend doing, other than making sure she has plenty of water. If it has been more of a gradual onset you should have her examined by your vet - sometimes a neurologic problem or even a mass in the throat can cause a voice change that might be significant.
