When he breathes, can you see his ribs? Does he look like he's having problems getting a good breath? Do you hear a wheeze? (sounds a little whistly) Any of these, you need have him seen again.

Do a search for rsv on google. I do know that most children get rsv at one time or another but if your child was premature, then it can be fatal.
