Gapeworm or respiratory infection?

[suburbanchickies]

One of my pullets (4.5 weeks old) has been sneezing, shaking her head (sometimes mucus comes out when she sneezes or shakes her head), and breathing out of her mouth. From what I can tell, she's not wheezing and doesn't have watery eyes or colored mucus. She also has good energy and has been sneezing for about 2 weeks, though no other symptoms were present until this week. She eats normally and flies around and acts like the typical pullet. I just ordered VetRx, and I can't see a vet right now due to the coronavirus to get antibiotics like bactrim.

Does she sound like she has a respiratory infection or gapeworm? What should I do? Thank you in advance.

It sounds more like a respiratory disease, such as infectious bronchitis or mycoplasma gallisepticum (MG.) Have any other chickens before or now had similar symptoms? If you can get tylosin powder here, that can be helpful to treat MG, but IB is a virus, and it lasts about a month:

Thank you so much! I noticed that some of the other chicks have been sneezing as well, I will get some tylosin. Thank you!!

Keep in mind that this may be infectious bronchitis. Here is a link that includes info about both IB and MG:
