3 Month Old with Rsv- Bronchilitis

Hi There, We just got back from AI DuPont hospital and my little baby boy- 3 months old has RSV- a respiratory virus- like bonchitus in us. We stayed over night and they said we could come home yesterday- his oxygen looked good- no fever etc. But now that we have him home he's a complete mess! Can hardly breathe- coughing up a storm, not sleeping I'm soooo worried about him. Has anyone else had a child with this...if so, how long does it last, any advice or reassurance would be great Thans soo much!
