Brief Answer:
hi and welcome

Detailed Answer:
It would not be advisable to take these or similar substances if there is allergy to aspirine or asthma. There is significant risk of possible allergic reactions and side effects so it would be reasonable to try with other types of painkillers. Wish you good health.regards
