Default Hamster wet tail? new hamster owner please help!

Hi hamster central. I am new hamster owner, and got my beautiful syrian hamster Theodore almost three months ago. Shortly after I got him, he started sneezing. I didn't know what it was, and was told it could just be allergies. I then did my research, and changed his bedding to kaytee cozy bedding, and was told the food that the store suggested was not good, so I recently changed his food, and also got a him a brand new bigger cage.
He was still sneezing, so this past Friday, I took him to the vet. They said it seems like he has a cold, and provided him with antibiotics. He did not like it or want to take it, so I had my boyfriend syringe it in his mouth while i held him uncomfortably trying to keep his mouth open. He took some of it, but the sneezing seems to have gotten worse. As of yesterday, it seemed that certain parts of his fur looked greasy looking, and wet, but they weren't. He also seems to have a brown patch on his butt, but it does not smell, and he doesn't smell bad either. He also isn't having diarrhea, and seems to be eating normally and drinking. He went on his wheel all night last night and the night before, but has been sleeping all day today but hamsters are nocturnal right? I also noticed this morning, his ears were folded back which they usually aren't. He did just wake up though, so I don't know if that has anything to do with it. I'm sorry for the long post, I am just incredibly stressed out and don't know what to do. If anyone could help me, that'd be great!
