Common allergens in the winter are dust and pet dander. A lot of people also have non-allergic rhinitis, which is symptoms mimicking allergies, but related to sensitivity to temperature changes and humidity. I would advise to have your child properly allergy tested by an allergist to have a clear understanding of his/hers symptoms and triggers.
