How do inhalers improve the health of asthma sufferers?

Answer 1

No, Asthma has nothing to do with your throat, it is the airways in your lungs, they inflame and fill with mucus.

An inhaler contains a certain medicine that disolves into mist and you inhale it, and the medicine opens your airways first (you must take it two times) and the second time it just does the same but also calms down lung spasms (which is what makes an asthmetic cough, it is your lungs attempt to clear the mucus, although not all asthmetics have mucus, but I do)

Also there is a muscle wrapped around your lung's airways, and in an asthma attack these muscles tighten, which is what causes the inflamation (swelling). The inhaler relaxes these muscles, although they still are ALWAYS more tight than a non-asthmetic, so an asthmetic really doesn't no what it is like to breathe normal, even if they think so ;)

Answer 2

Medicines in inhalers open up the airway and the lungs, thus making it easier for said person to breathe. Some also reduce "spasms" in the airway and lungs, in hopes to alleviate cough and wheezing.

Answer 3

When we take inhaler it directly passes to bronchi and reduce the flum in the bronchi so we can feel better from asthma.


When you take an inhaler there is medicine that your spray into the inhaler... this medicine goes into your airways and blocks the nerve signals that make the muscles around the airways contract. The medicine makes these muscles relax so your airways aren't tense anymore and so more air can flow through them and you can breathe more easily.

Answer 4

inhalers contains a drug that makes muscles relax, so the breathing tubes widen again

Answer 5
