Raise the temp a little bit. Maybe up to somehting like 90.
I've read that this can help with RI. I'm sure you will get more educated advise from someone here.

Agreed. And yeah vet trip is good. But is your snake going to shed? My amel male Jack constantly gets a hissing weird noise when he breaths before a shed. It almost sounds like a sneeze. LOL. But is always gone after the shed. Dry skin can somewhat clog them up once in awhile.
But vet trip is a good idea. They will most likely give you medication and you can keep the temps a bit warmer during this time.

Some snakes just click when they breathe no matter how healthy they are, it's if the snake clicks every breath it takes, that's when you have a problem.

I strongly disagree with that statement. Intermittent clicking is often a sign of Runny Nose Syndrome, a case where a virus settles into the respiratory system and causes occasional flareups. This is not a healthy snake, and is a lifelong carrier of viruses that can kill neonates or snakes with weak immune system and needs a lifelong quarantine. Most of the viruses responsible for RNS are airborne, so even caging the snake separately is not enough to prevent the risk of spreading the disease.
