Paracetamol and asprin are fine. Lots of people don't take ibuprofen as it can make asthma worst. Personally I can take ibuprofen and other stronger version of this. I think you need to proceed with caution. If you are prescribed a painkiller by your doctors then they will know your history and will advise what you can take.

I have also been warned off aspirin, for the same reasons as ibuprofen. I used to be fine with both, but have stayed clear of them since my asthma worsened.

Hi, I also used to be fine with any pain killer, but now any non steroidal anti inflammatory sets me off. If you have had a problem with ibuprofen I would keep off all of them and stick to paracetamol, co codamol etc.

Good luck

Try Breo inhaler, take it once a day and I'm sure that will work wonders.
