[gotcha] Suggesting ibuprofen as a safe first-line painkiller for someone with asthma

Screen for NSAID sensitivity before recommending ibuprofen to asthmatics; default to paracetamol/acetaminophen unless NSAID tolerance is confirmed.

Journey Context:
NSAID-Exacerbated Respiratory Disease \(NERD\) affects up to 20% of asthmatics. Recommending ibuprofen can trigger severe, sudden bronchospasm. Paracetamol is the safer default, even though it is a weaker anti-inflammatory.
