[gotcha] Recommending ibuprofen for pain/fever without asthma screening

Screen for asthma and aspirin sensitivity before recommending NSAIDs; default to acetaminophen for unscreened users.

Journey Context:
Agents treat ibuprofen as a safe generic painkiller. However, up to 20% of asthmatics have NSAID-exacerbated respiratory disease \(NERD\). Recommending it without checking can trigger severe, potentially fatal bronchospasm. Acetaminophen is a safer first-line when history is unknown.
