You seem to be having an asthma flare up ( aspirin promotes leukotriene formation from arachidonic acid resulting in exacerbation of asthma). I would advise to seek a medical attention.

Agree with Dr. Park. Do not take aspirin as it can make asthma worse. For pain and fever relief you may take acetaminophen, no more 4 g in one day, no alcohol. In 6-8 weeks get Covid vaccine.
