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

Ask about asthma history before recommending NSAIDs. If present, recommend Acetaminophen due to the risk of NSAID-exacerbated respiratory disease \(NERD\) and severe bronchospasm.

Journey Context:
Ibuprofen is generally safe, but in a subset of asthmatics \(especially those with nasal polyps - Samter's triad\), it triggers sudden, severe bronchospasm. Agents defaulting to Ibuprofen as a safer anti-inflammatory than opioids miss this specific, life-threatening interaction.
