Is it possible for something to go into your nose and then it ends up down your throat?

Yes: Your nose & throat are all connected. Anything that you inhale in your nose can go down your throat. Just as anything that is in your throat can go up into your nose. This is why you often have a sore throat after having a stuffy nose. The mucus drains out the back of your nose down your throat, making it sore.
