Answer
I have never heard of sulppham before. So I can honestly say I do not know if it's safe or not and personally, I wouldn't try it because it's better to take a guinea pig to a vet for the right type of medical treatment as buying something off the shelf can sometimes cause more harm than good for guinea pigs. Constant sneezing could be because of a cold and your guinea pig should just go to the vet for some antibiotics as it would be much safer. :-)
