A bit more I found:
I would not jump to conclusions and stress out just watch em.

Pan, thank you man. Like I said before he is eating and drinking as he normally would. I have another appt. tomorrow with an exotic vet to ease my mind more. I understand it's a guinea pig but he is also a part of the family and like any other member of the family when they are sick or in trouble the normal person would should care/concern. I can see how reading that may make me sound like a ****, but that's not how I'm trying to sound, hard to type emotions. Anyhow, thank you pan for showing your concern with looking something as little as that up, I greatly appricate it, and it gives me other things to look for.

It's only sneezed two more times? Damn you pay a lot of attention to this little guy. I say give him a little longer. Two sneezes doesn't sound like a big deal.

Well since guinea pigs normally don't sneeze it's kind of easy to catch. Also, I'm very nervous about his health even after the vet saying he is extremely healthy, so I've been hanging out with him and keeping a closer than usual eye on him. Also, with guinea pigs and upper respiratory infections you can't "give him a little longer" I know your intentions are good but guinea pigs don't have a very good immune system, when they get sick, even the littlest of colds can be life threating to a guinea pig.
