I have always heard that singers should never use mentholated cough lozenges because menthol is too drying and irritates the throat. I would guess that menthol in the form of Vicks Vaporub, either on your chest or in the well of a vaporizer would have a similar effect. It may help you breathe easier if you have sinus congestion but, in general, as a singer, I'd stay away from it.
