hello doctor
i read your question and understand your concern
as you mentioned that your patient is already an Asthmatic patient
so in Asthmatic patient don't ever give NSAIDs!
as you given aceclofenac so this all because of this NSAID allergy
i would suggest to immediately stop his NSAIDs and do one RFTs and give her anti allergic i/v and if there is breathing difficulty give Hydro cortisone 100 mg i/v and advise one chest x-ray PA view and treat accordingly
i hope my answer will satisfy you
good luck & tc
