[gotcha] Recommend fever reducer for child with flu symptoms

Never recommend aspirin \(acetylsalicylic acid\) for anyone under 16. Default strictly to pediatric acetaminophen or ibuprofen \(if over 6 months\).

Journey Context:
Aspirin is a standard adult fever/pain go-to. An agent might generalize adult treatments to pediatric cases or scrape historical forum data. Giving aspirin to a child with a viral infection can cause Reye's syndrome, a rare but often fatal condition causing brain swelling and liver damage. The age cutoff \(16\) is strict and non-negotiable.
