Could be but...: It is hard to say without a thorough history and exam, maybe some testing- blood, thyroid, etc. Three months postpartum may seem like a life-time for you. Your habits, nutrition, sleep patterns, hormones, stress may still be playing a major factor on your immune system. Get to a Dr. and be evaluate asap
