Yeah, rats need unscented bedding. Something like Carefresh, Yesterdays news (I use the cat litter bag of this because it's cheaper and comes in larger sizes. It's the same thing as the small animal one, unscented of course), fabric bedding (like fleece or towels without the loop) or aspen. Those are pretty much it as far as the allowable bedding for rats. I think Harlan makes some nice bedding as well like the diamond soft and other varieties but you can't get those in the store you have to order them.
Get her off the that bedding! I had my rats sneezing just by a fabric detergent I was using for their bedding. I switched to unscented detergent and the sneezes went down dramatically. Switch to a more rat safe bedding and see if she is still sneezing with the porphyrin around her nose for a couple of days. If she is after 3-5 days I would take her to the vet. You don't want a respiratory infection going too long as it can cause permanent damage.
And does she have a friend? What kind of cage is she in? If she is in an aquarium that could be another reason for her sneezing. Not saying she is but an aquarium holds in scent and urine smell like nothing else. Hopefully she is in a wire cage!
