4mo chick rasping, thought it had bronchitis or something but had impacted crop and allergies. Crop emptied and she’s just sneezing now

It's likely just stridor, something in irritating the airway. She'll likely cough it out soon. She's not in pain. Chickens don't make noise when in pain, they hunker down and sleep. :]
 
Gapeworm is quite rare but yet it's the number one result of google, for some reason.
What is your birds diet? What's the coop and run like?
They eat chicken scratch. And the run is farely clean, coops really dusty. But we have to wrap coop for winter so no ventilation. She’s about 3 months old and she’s an Easter egger. Her poop is COMPLETELY clear like water and sometimes if it’s regular poop it’s a dry texture. She’s rasping and her crop is solid hard. She won’t drink at all but is eating like she’s starving. (She’s not)

She is starving, if she's truly eating the seed mix known as scratch instead of chick feed.
She also has a rock hard crop, which means food isn't going to her digestive system.
