It could be reverse sneezing. If they are for lack of a better term pushing on his trachea area an he is not honking then I doubt that it is collapsing trachea. A lot of collapsing trachea cases also don't get worse with age where some might. All of my yorkies have and had collapsing trachea which is 5 and my moms had it as well. Only my moms was bad enough where he needed to go on hydrocodone daily. Everyone of mine reacts when their tracheas are pushed on whether it is by the vet or say they are trying to look in a box that is not low enough and they do it themselves then they will honk. Your best bet would be to record a video of it to show your vet.
