I wasn't worried at first b/c my parrots tend to do this. They will inhale water the wrong way and get it in their nose for a day. I thought that is what this chick did. She's still doing it after a few days though, sneezing once an a while and sounding raspy in her nasal passages. What can I do for her?
 
It still could be an environmental problem. Perhaps she has a feed granule lodged in one of her nostrils or inhaled feed dust. Check the nostrils as best as you can. If you see a granule, try using a toothpick to try and gently remove it. If it's dust, you can sprinkle a little water on the feed, not too much though, you dont want it to become moldy. They should still eat it even if it's moistened.
You can also try a warm water flush directly into the nostrils using an eyedropper, one nostril at a time. One drop into each nostril might moisten and loosen the granule and she should be able to sneeze it out or swallow the particles.
