How does inhaler help a person breath easier?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Open airways: There are different types of inhalers but the most common types increase the size of the airways in the lung when they are spasming. This allows the air to move with less resistance during breathing. Some inhalers act by decreasing inflammation in the airways too.
