Reverse sneezing is pretty common in pugs, of my 9, 2 do it intermittently. It can be aggravated by allergies as well, sometimes food and some by environment same as people. It is not life threatening, and not much can be done.

Since she is only 11 wks, you can get your vet to check for elongated soft palate, also very common in pugs. That restricts the amt of air available, and makes any sneezing whether allergy or otherwise that much worse. Sometimes you cannot tell on the palate without anaesthesia, and either way I would certainly have it looked at when you have her spayed or before. I had one male pug that had so much breathing troubles, we had laser surgery on the palate at 10 months, and he already had some damage to his trachea. Since then he has been perfect, snores less as well, and it has been over 10 yrs.
