Will problems breathing and fever need to be seen by a doctor?

Yes: Breathing is most important. Fever means infection usually. Go see a doctor.

Absolutely: The breathing problems may mean a number of things: an asthma attack (if you have asthma or copd), or perhaps pneumonia (which can also cause your fever). The two together usually is not a good sign, and so seeking medical attention is very important. Waiting too long can cause serious problems.

Yes...: Any time you have difficulty breathing , you need to be evaluated by a physician since there are benign causes of this but there are also life-threatening causes. If the shortness of breath is severe, call 911 and get to the er. A physician will be able to evaluate and treat you quickly before it gets any worse.
