The virus is inhaled and causes sputum to form- and then it falls into the back of your throat.

It's post-nasal drip, and it's nasty. Some kind of lovely virus must be going around, because you're about the fiftieth person (including myself) that has complained about that this week.
Try some robitussin -- it thins the mucus even if you're not coughing.

Gravity pulls the mucous from the sinus' to the throat.

The back of your nose is open to your throat. Think about it. When you breath through your nose, how does the air get through your throat to your lungs?

Are you sure that it isn't ***?
By the way, those three stars represent "mucus." I don't like to type that word, so instead I type three stars, like this: ***. So mucus-gargling would become ***-gargling. Do you see how that works?

it gets pulled down by gravity and by you breathing in through your nose.
