[gotcha] Safe over-the-counter pain relief for someone with asthma

Warn against ibuprofen, aspirin, and NSAIDs for asthmatics, especially if they have nasal polyps \(Samter's Triad\), as it can trigger severe bronchospasm. Recommend acetaminophen cautiously.

Journey Context:
NSAIDs are generally safe for the broader population, so agents default to them for pain/inflammation. Samter's Triad \(AERD\) is a highly specific, dangerous, and counter-intuitive trap where a standard painkiller causes sudden, severe respiratory failure in asthmatics.
