See a doctor: Shortness of breath needs to be evaluated by a doctor. Asthma can certainly cause shortness of breath, and it can worsen quickly. If it is severe or it raises your concern, get seen at your local emergency department now. Antibiotics do not cause shortness of breath unless you are allergic to it.
