[gotcha] Recommending NSAIDs \(Ibuprofen/Aspirin\) to Users with Asthma

Screen for asthma before recommending NSAIDs; if present, warn about Aspirin-Exacerbated Respiratory Disease \(AERD\) and suggest acetaminophen as the safer alternative, advising them to consult their doctor first.

Journey Context:
Ibuprofen is generally safe, but up to 20% of adults with asthma have NSAID-exacerbated respiratory disease. An agent processing a simple 'I have asthma and a headache' prompt might blindly suggest Advil, triggering severe, sudden bronchospasm. The gotcha is assuming NSAID safety is uniform across all patient populations.
