How Can Flu-like Symptoms Along With Shortness Of Breath Be Treated?

I have asthma, which is controlled. I have had cold, flu-like symptoms for the past few days with lots of wheezing, nasal discharge, cold chills and intermittent sweating episodes. I gave myself an albuterol breathing machine treatment with my nebulizer but I still feel my lungs are full with some diminished deep breathing (I can t breathe in deeply w/of coughing). Should I go to urgent care?
