Hello XXXXXXX ,
Sneezing in the morning during cold weather is seen in allergic or reaction to cold air, this is called as skiers nose.
No need to worry about if you do not have excessive sneezing at other time .
To get relief from this sneezing --
--Try to avoid exposure to cold air
--You can take antihistaminic tablets during the cold climate , for eg . at night you can take a tablet of Fexofenadine or Loratidine.
you can consult an ENT specialist so that proper examination of the nose is done and if required sprays can be started.
