Air freshener may not infect directly (they have some alcohol and other chemical contents that may not allow bacteria or fungus to grow). However, they can cause allergy (and allergy can also weaken body's immunity).

I am allergic to most of air fresheners and experience breathing problems.

Not an infection as such, but certainly an adverse allergic reaction that can affect breathing.

yes

he could have a mild allergic to the air fresher or even asthma.
