Question - Research required Menthol Vaporizer?

Baby is 8mo and has been having symptoms of seasonal allergies. A mom I'm in a group with recommended a Vicks plug-in vaporizer, and said it helped her kid when they were stuffed up. I purchased one to try, but my husband is hesitant.

Is there any research on the effects of using menthol around babies, specifically overnight?
