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

Always ask about asthma before recommending NSAIDs. Recommend Paracetamol as the first-line alternative, as NSAIDs can trigger severe bronchospasm in NSAID-exacerbated respiratory disease \(NERD/AERD\).

Journey Context:
Ibuprofen is typically the default OTC analgesic/antipyretic. However, approximately 10-20% of asthmatics have NSAID sensitivity. An agent blindly suggesting ibuprofen for an asthmatic with a fever can trigger a life-threatening asthma attack.
