My cat with FELV is snorting after antibiotics. Is she okay?

Pet's info: Cat | American Shorthair | Female | spayed | 14 lbs

I have a cat with FELV, she lately has had a lot of drainage and congestion, and she just completed a round of azythromicin. Is the snort-y breathing just her getting better or is this reason to be concerned? She is otherwise acting like herself.

Any change in breathing sound/frequency is concerning, but it doesn't inherently mean something is seriously wrong. Since it sounds like this was a recent change after the drainage and congestion were getting better, I would recommend a repeat check up
