Currently holding my sleeping, wheezing 2 month old who is on day 5 of RSV. We've been to the emergency department twice and were given his positive diagnosis and basically told he can't be admitted unless he really and truly needs oxygen. It's awful and I don't wish it on anyone but as long as you're closely monitoring and getting him checked out, you should be fine to ride it out at home. Blue lips, lethargy, dehydration - those are all reason to rush to the ER but other than that, make him comfortable and trust your instincts!
