The fever itself is not the main concern in his case. The breathing issue is concerning and could signal a more serious problem like pneumonia. Without more details, I can only suggest calling your pediatrician's office as soon as possible to discuss the symptoms in detail and arrange for a prompt medical evaluation for your child.
