I got a baby guinea pig a week ago. She's been sneezing, sometimes more at once than through out the day. She also has some nose crusties showing up once a day. I have an air purifier right by the cage, could be making her nose dry? She is bonded to two other guinea pigs. Could she have a respiratory infection? Or allergies? I have photos of her nose if wanted?
 
Welcome to the forum

It would be best if she had a vet check. A potential URI, and with her being a new piggy who can potentially bring something in, is not something to leave unchecked.

I hope she is ok
 
Respiratory infections can worsen in a hurry, this is definitely worth a vet visit if she is sneezing regularly and has nasal discharge. Definitely better to treat it now than later!
