Hi,
If there is no cough and fast breathing (>50 breaths/minutes), nothing to be worried. Sneezing and noisy breathing might suggest rhinitis/nasal congestion. Try using nasal decongestants like Oxymetazoline nasal drops for 3 days.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
