Without seeing the x-ray and examining your cat, it is difficult to know the exact cause. She could have an infection or possibly a polyp. I am assuming your vet prescribed an antibiotic and, hopefully, she will start to improve within a few days. If not, call your vet and give him/her an update as your vet may need to adjust her treatment.
