Does he have a source of grit - like course crushed granite or small stones to help process the millet and corn?

Any mucous/discharge from the nostrils?

He may be sneezing to clear his nostrils of small seeds like millet, the shaking of the head could be adjusting the crop. It's hard to know - if you have a video of his actions that would be great.

I would keep watch on him, provide him grit and watch to see that he is drinking. If he is not showing symptoms of respiratory illness - continuous/frequent sneezing, runny nose, watery eyes, facial swelling or similar, I would stop the antibiotic treatment for now. Antibiotics can help with secondary infections when a chicken is sick, but should only be used when you are seeing a clear indication of symptoms.

If you have poultry vitamins or even childrens multi-vitamins (no iron) you may want to add those to his food or water 1time a week to give him a boost.

Ventilation is important, even in winter, so try to keep as much air circulating in his housing as possible. It will also help to clean up overnight droppings daily.
