Did you see any other symptoms, such as watery or bubbly eye, swelling of eyelids or face? Sneezing can sometimes be a virus, and Denagard only treats MG. Viruses can last a month or so.

If your birds had a respiratory disease, there would more than sneezing going on in your flock. Consider that it might be something environmental, for example;
Ammonia fumes from soiled bedding, improper ventilation, pollen, dust from dust bathing , inhalation of feed dust, pesticides, excessive dander, mold or fungus inside coop, use of DE. All of these issues can be corrected and/or eliminated.

Additionally; here's a link showing respiratory diseases that cause sneezing as a symptom, in conjunction with other symptoms:

BTW: As mentioned by @Eggcessive above, Denagard only treats Mycoplasma diseases (MG & MS), both are bacterial diseases. Denagard does not treat viral diseases in poultry, such as Infectious Bronchitis (IB) nor Infectious Laryngotrachetis (ILT.)
(See the link above.)

I would look for possible causes such as poor ventilation, dust, or mold. If they are active and continue to eat and drink well, I would suspect a virus, such as infectious bronchitis. My chickens were suspected of having that years ago. It spread to most of the flock over weeks, and all hens recovered after a month or so. Chicks that I hatched did get it too. I did see a couple of corrugated or wrinkled egg shells, which is a sign of infectious bronchitis. It can cause some reproductive disorders later on, and I did experience losses from those conditions. IB virus makes the chickens carriers for at least 5 months, so it‘s good to not add or hatch any new chickens until 5 months after the last chicken recovers.
