It doesn’t seem likely to me that an infected tooth can cause a breathing problem. Teeth have no function in the process of breathing. If the infection spreads to the pharynx, however, it may cause some breathing difficulties. You can proceed to a dentist's office for an examination and to take care of the current symptoms (pus and blood).
