It got better, but then when she got to 2 years old she developed a respiratory condition called Pasteurella, where bacteria present in all rats overtake the immune system. Looking back, I've started to wonder whether perhaps her early sneezing problem was an early indicator, but I don't know for sure. Give it a few days/couple of weeks and see if it improves. If not, maybe take her to a vet for a check up. It could just be a reaction to particles in the sawdust.
