Excessive heat and dry out their sinuses but it may also be a respiratory infection that is spreading. You can always try to let them out to play if able or place them in the bathroom to get a little steam from the shower to moisten their sinuses. If you have a humidifier then put one close to where they sleep. If it continues then I would get the worst one treated by the vet
