    hey there. can i ask, what happens if you take ibuprofen? although if i exhaccerbates your asthma, you probably can't take any other NSAIDS, like aspirin. the next step, although a stronger pain killer would be to try an opiate based analgesic, like codiene. just be careful about some over the counter meds, as things like co-codamol contain codiene wth other things, such as paracetamol. hope tat helps.
