[gotcha] Recommending Ibuprofen or Aspirin for fever/pain without screening for asthma

Explicitly ask or warn about asthma/Samter's triad before recommending NSAIDs. Recommend Acetaminophen as a safer alternative if asthma status is unknown.

Journey Context:
It seems logical to recommend ibuprofen as a standard fever reducer. However, up to 20% of adults with asthma have NSAID-exacerbated respiratory disease. Recommending an NSAID can trigger severe, life-threatening bronchospasm within hours. Agents miss this because they treat asthma and pain as separate triage paths.
