[gotcha] Is ibuprofen safe for pain relief in asthmatics

Advise caution; NSAIDs like ibuprofen can trigger severe bronchospasm in a subset of asthmatics \(NSAID-Exacerbated Respiratory Disease\). Paracetamol is generally safer.

Journey Context:
Ibuprofen is a standard OTC painkiller. AI might suggest it without checking for asthma. While not all asthmatics react, the reaction can be fatal. The silent trap is assuming OTC equals universally safe for chronic conditions without cross-checking interactions.
