I would advise you take your Guinea pig to the vets.
Head tilt can be a sign of a possible ear infection but could be other causes and will need medications to cure. Any tilt in the head needs to be seen by a vet as this could potentially cause them to lose their appetite which would be very bad for Guinea pig and could lead to gut stasis which could be fatal.

Sneezing and runny nose can be a sign of a respiratory infections but hard to say without seeing your Guinea pig. If this is still ongoing getting your Guinea pig to the vets will be the best thing and they will be able to listen to the lungs and put on a course of medication if necessary
