Could bronchitis form from a sinus infection?

Yes: Many times asthma can be worsened with sinus drainage and in the right circumstances lead to a lung infection.. Either bronchitis or pneumonia.

Yes....: Acute bronchitis occurs when there is infection in the airways and this infection can originate in the sinuses. There is treatment available for both so see your doctor.
