The most common cause of this sneezing is lack of a heated humidifier. Drying in the nose causes the sneezing and also runny nose. If you are not using a heated humidifier, I suggest you try one.

Why has this suddenly started after 7 months? In my case, I did just fine during the humid summer months, but in the winter when the air got cold and dry, the sneezes and runny nose began. Another cause is slowly increasing intolerance to the air blowing in the nose.
