Yes it can. Laryngitis is usually caused by a bacteria or a virus. When these bugs travel down your respiratory tract, they can cause bronchitis or pneumonia. Respiratory infections usually start with a cold in the nose which may spread to the sinuses, throat and lower respiratory tract. But just because you have the beginning of a cold does not mean that you will go on to develop any of these other problems of the upper or of the lower respiratory tract.
