My 7yr old Shih Tzu male has started having sneezing fits with reverse sneezing also. Does he have a cold

It can be a cold from a respiratory infection or it may be induced due to allergies. You can try an over the counter antihistamine such as Benadryl. If it continues or progresses to a cough or ocular discharge, then I would have your vet check him to see if antibiotics are needed.
