Alli,
Have you taken her to the vet? Is she up to date on her shots?
I hade 2 Albinos that had allergies to pollen & dust. We would give
them Benadryl Childrens liquid a couple of times a day. Have your vet
chech your baby out and if it is allergies have him give you the
dosage for the Benadryl. I used to use a little less that .25cc 1 or
2 times a day and it helped with the sneezing.

[Moderator's Note: a caution: the syrup can NOT have any other meds.
For example, some of the meds that are used to bring down fevers
in humans and reduce pain in humans will rapidly destroy the livers
of ferrets and are therefore poisonous to them. As Debi said, the
first step always needs to be a vet appointment, and then meds need
to be cleared with the treating vet before being given.]
