What Causes Productive Cough And Difficulty Breathing Post C Section?

I had a c section on 6/29/15. Over the last two days I have developed a cough (initially it was unproductive, but now I am coughing up small amounts of sputum each time.). I am also very short of breath which is typically worse when I attempt to lie down. My temp is currently 97.9. I m trying to determine if this is secondary to the surgery or if it sounds more like a cold.
