He needs to be seen by a doctor promptly. He could have developed pneumonia or a problem with his heart. I suggest you take him to emergency and get his oxygen levels checked and a chest x-ray. If he's not responding to his regular medicines, he needs more aggressive treatment at the hospital to get his breathing under control. Hope this helps.
