My Tibbe has reverse sneezing when his trachea/pharynx are irritated, apparently from reflux or any irritation of the area from anything - whether a long strip of rawhide getting far along into the area, even if he doesn't swallow it, from jerky treats he was given for a while last winter or from certain medications he takes, such as when he had to take a course of cortisone pills. Whenever his tummy is upset he can start to act like he is RS'ing or have a short episode with it. His vets don't think it is early CT but I am still considering it could be. With the vet's permission, there is an OTC medication I give him that seems to calm the irritation and he stops it. He doesn't seem to have the full honking type situation I've seen in video's on YouTube and such but it's still hard to tell. Thankfully, his bouts of it so far are short and 2 or 3 times a year. Tibbe hacked when he got pneumonia early last year, the hacking like he had a dry cough or was trying to cough up a hair or something. Turned out to be early pneumonia. The cortisone treatment for the pneumonia caused full reverse sneezing bouts and caused tummy upsets.
Can you video your little one doing it and post it or show it to the vet when you take him in for a check-up. It could be any number of things going on so he needs to be checked out by the vet.
