What's wrong with her?

My new mouse has been sneezing for a couple of days but her breathing was normal, no weezing or heavy breathing, so I didn't think anything of it.
I noticed yesterday she was really sleepy and falling asleep in her food dish I took her out of the food dish and put her in her bedding and she didn't move much and this morning she was back sleeping in the food dish.
Does anyone know what's wrong?
I use carefresh bedding so her cage isn't dusty and I clean it every 5 days.
Does it sound like a upper respiratory infection? Or something else?

Is she eating and drinking normally? Does she appear to be breathing harder than normal? Does she sit in a hunched position often and look like she's focused on breathing? Hunched position and/or hard breathing are signs of a URI. If she has these signs, then all you can do is go to the vet and they will prescribe some antibiotics that will hopefully make her well again. Many mice with a URI will also eat and drink normally, but there are some with worse cases that may stop them from eating or drinking normally.
