Keep the humidity at 50-60%, lots of ventilation, and change his water daily. A vet visit would also be a good idea if you're sure it's an RI.
RI's can be caused by too-dry or too-humid conditions (as well as cold temps, which it sounds like isn't a problem for you). If the cage is kept too dry, cracks may form in the snake's lungs and bacteria grow there. If the humidity is kept too high it can encourage bacterial growth. I.e., respiratory problems can arise from both ends of the humidity spectrum, and raising/lowering humidity depends on which end caused the RI. Unless you are absolutely positive as to the cause and severity of the RI, increasing or decreasing humidity from the appropriate percentages is likely to make the problem worse.
