My old boy Marks has started sneezing for no reason this month. I normally don't worry when they sneeze just a few times but these are more frequent and harder then normal. Around 6 sneezes in a minute or two sometimes.

Nothing has changed, same bedding that actually stopped the sneezing fits other stuff caused, same food, same cleaning supplies for the cages.

No new rats.

His eyes and nose seem clear. No strange sounds when he breathes and his lungs sound clear when I listen.

I have noticed he is starting to use his back legs differently but I don't think that would effect his nose.

At first I thought it was my new shampoo because he sneezed real bad when I was holding him after a shower but it doesn't matter were he is, outside, on my shoulder or in his cage.

Poor thing even sneezes through the night.

I don't think I can one more missile or rat boogers to the face
 
If it's not environmental, it sounds like it may be a respiratory infection. The sooner you see a vet and get the meds you need, the easier it will be to overcome the infection.
