Rhinitis: Your symptoms sound concerning for rhinitis. It is due to nasal inflammation which can happen due to mold, mildew, viruses, dust, dust mites, dander, pollen that can circulate in your immediate environment once air-conditioning is turned on. Having a HEPA filter and regularly performing maintenance can help. Also, maintaining optimal humidity would help. Consider certified service of your AC unit.

Allergies : If this problem has been going on for three months likely allergies. Indoor air quality worsens in winter as the windows stay shut. Consider an air purifier.
