“What are the different types of inhalers, and how do they work for asthma?”

I am sorry about your diagnosis but this is a very treatable disease that can be controlled well by a knowledgeable physician. This is a very complicated questions that requires a lot of time and this is not the appropriate forum to address it. There are several classes of inhalers for asthma and dep. on your presentation, history and triggers some of those may be useful and other ones not. I strongly encourage you to see a board certified allergist to go over your history, perform appropriate testing and advise you on which inhalers are indicated in your case.  best of luck  Monika Korff, MDFACAAIoffice-410-730-6000www.allergyasthmamaryland.com
