Rsv: Well the only way to tell if it is RSV is test for it they do have rapid test for RSV and strains of the flu. Testing all depends on the clinical course your sons illness is having.

Watch his breathing!: Sorry for answering 2 days into your childs illness, but i just joined the site! as long as you child has no signs of respiratory distress like breathing fast, wheezing, having retractions, having labored breathing of fever, you could watch him at home, if he is not better in 1 week, or getting worse not better you need to see his doctor!

Need neb albuterol?: if he has had RSV pneumonia twice he probably has a nebulizer--use albuterol ev 4-6 hrs to relieve the chest congestion.ABSOLUTELY no smoking around him--in the car or home.
