[gotcha] Recommending ibuprofen or aspirin for fever/pain without screening for asthma

Explicitly ask about asthma history before recommending NSAIDs; default to acetaminophen if asthma status is unknown, and warn of potential bronchospasm risk.

Journey Context:
NSAIDs are standard adult pain/fever meds. However, NSAID-exacerbated respiratory disease \(NERD\) affects up to 20% of asthmatics. Agents blindly suggesting ibuprofen for a fever can trigger severe, life-threatening asthma attacks in a significant minority of the population.
