I didn’t care about inhalers because I knew they were for asthma but I didn’t know they worked for dry cough too. How do they work?

an inhaler is just a device to deliver medication to your lungs. mechanically, it works the same way hairspray does.
inhalers are associated with asthmatics because asthma is treated with “bronchodilators”. medications that open up the little tubes in your lungs. these medications can also help non asthmatics who may have bronchospasms (the tubes tense up kinda randomly) caused by some illness.
but many medications can be put into inhalers. the other common one is steroids, which are used to treat inflammation. this can be the result of illness, allergies, etc.
