Default sneezing hamster?

hey friends,
i got a new hamster a few hours ago and since i got him he hasn't stopped sneezing. he's eating and pooping and running on his wheel, but the sneezing isn't letting up. is he just stressed or is it something more serious?
thank ya (-:

Hello and welcome to the forum

Are you sure it is sneezing and not more like snuffling around checking out his new surroundings?

If you've only had him a few hours then it may just be him exploring things.
What substrate are you using? Some hamsters can react badly to wood shavings so if it does continue that's a possibility to consider.
Also are there any strong smells, sprays used or anything like that in the room where he is?
