[gotcha] Recommending Ibuprofen for fever or pain in asthmatic patients

Always warn about NSAID-exacerbated respiratory disease \(NERD\) and ask if the asthmatic user has previously tolerated NSAIDs safely before recommending them; default to acetaminophen if unknown.

Journey Context:
Ibuprofen is a standard go-to for fever/pain. However, up to 20% of asthmatics \(especially those with nasal polyps\) experience severe, potentially fatal bronchospasm from NSAIDs. Agents silently recommending it without checking asthma status can trigger an acute respiratory crisis.
