Sneezing

During my corn's last shed (which finished on 4/20) he started making a popping noise while he exhaled and sometimes breathed through his mouth; I looked at him through a magnifying glass and it looked like at least one of his nostrils was blocked by loose skin. The popping noises and mouth breathing have stopped since he shed, but now he's making occasional sneezing noises (I only hear them about 2 times a day).

I see no mucus around his nose or mouth. His breathing is silent other than occasional sneezes. His temps are low 80s on the warm size and low 70s on the cool side. He has a humid hide that he's been making use of. I changed his aspen substrate after he shed. His behavior has been normal since shedding.

My guess is that he still has some skin in one of his nostrils that sometimes bothers him and makes him sneeze, but is there a way I can confirm that/fix it? (I haven't taken another look at him under a magnifying glass since shedding, but I'll do that after work today - I'm not sure that will give me a definite answer, though.) If it's something more serious I don't want to take it lightly, but I don't know how to confirm one way or another - given the state of the world I'm not sure a vet would see him if it's just a bit of skin in his nose. Any help would be much appreciated!
