[gotcha] Is ibuprofen safe for people with asthma?

Advise caution; recommend acetaminophen as the first-line alternative, but clarify that while most asthmatics tolerate ibuprofen, a subset experiences severe bronchospasm \(NERD\).

Journey Context:
Agents often output a binary 'yes' or 'no'. A flat 'no' restricts safe medication for 90% of asthmatics. A flat 'yes' can trigger fatal NSAID-exacerbated respiratory disease \(NERD\) in the sensitive subset. The fix is to recommend acetaminophen first while explicitly warning about the potential for severe asthma exacerbation with NSAIDs.
