Is the humidity that high throughout the entire house?
A little bit of high humidity for short periods shouldn't cause a respiratory infection.
If you think she could be having some trouble, be sure to increase the basking temperatures
a few degrees during the day & keep her tank around 80 overnight. That alone, may be
enough to decrease humidity overnight somewhat.
Is Jojo eating pretty well?
Are you doing your rehydrating in the kitchen?

Sure, ideally about 30% RH , BUT this is only the situation in their natural range in the DRY SEASON and the majority of beardie keepers here in Australia live very close to the eastern seaboard , and mostly in subtropical and tropical climates where it is very unusual to see RI under 50% - - 60% in summer unless they are west of the Great Divide.
I personally know folks who have pet beardies who live in Darwin and Cairns and Mackay where there are only two seasons , VERY HOT VERY HUMID (MONSOON) and HOT DRY (WINTER) , they successfully keep and breed bearded dragons under these conditions.
I am a bit concerned there may be issues with his set up , here's my cheatsheet, it will help you spot issues that need to be changed or tweeks to help improve his appetite (likely due to temperature and UVA issues) : cheatsheet here viewtopic.php?f=6&t=234738&p=1806050#p1806050
You have mentioned that he's a juvenile, two meals per day of live insects, chosen from :
> BSF maggot / phoenix worms / calcigents
> small (about 1 inch long) and medium (about 1.5 inch long) silkworms
> gutloaded & dusted crickets or roaches or locusts
mealworms are NOT suitable feeders or even suitable use as treats for a juvenile dragon.
