[gotcha] Suggesting aspirin as a general fever reducer or painkiller for children or teenagers

Explicitly contraindicate aspirin for anyone under 16 with viral infections; recommend ibuprofen or acetaminophen instead.

Journey Context:
Aspirin is a standard, safe adult NSAID, so an agent might default to it for general pain/fever. However, in children with viral infections, it triggers Reye's syndrome, a rapidly progressive and often fatal brain/liver disease. The age cutoff is strict and non-negotiable, and agents trained on general adult medical data will silently miss this pediatric exception.
