I've seen several posts like this recently and all seem to have a couple of things in common. They use Aspen bedding and they have a heat lamp. I think the combination of the two could be drying the cage excessively. I know many people use Aspen with no problems. I've always used pine shaving. Regardless of wether you decide to take him to a Vet or not remove the Lamp! Put him on News Paper even if it's just to see if the sneezing stops. Make sure the heat mat is on one side only. Also give him a moist hide box with moist spagnum moss. Having said that, wat Mike said is true! If he has a respitory infection than each day you delay bringing him to a Vet makes the risk of him dying that much greater.
