A member asked:

I have bronchitis & sinus infection, am i contagious?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Possibly: Acute bronchitis is almost always viral and can be transmitted. The sinus infection may be bacterial or viral. If bacterial, due to the viral infection creating congestion with secondary bacterial invasion, but that would not be communicable to others.
