Read your query as you had bad infection in tooth it might be your tooth is carious or due to periodontal problem . There may be possibilty of Abscess formation which may needs drainage.

Can you attach report (image) of tooth that will he more helpful for me to arrive at conclusion.

Based on the details provided you can take antibiotic medicine to prevent the spread of infection like Amoxicillin and metronidazole by consulting with local doctor . Do warm saline rinses .

I will also suggest you as you have shortness of breath if possible go to emergency room or nearby hospital for getting examination and treatment done (if abscess go do drainage of pus that will give you releif) .
