Earlier in the morning today i coughed and my lower right side(right under the rib). my mom says it might be pneumonia. also i had a fb game friday.

Coughing/ rib pain.: Could be musculoskeletal pain, especially if it worsens with movement. If you have fever and cough, your mother may be right. Probably need to be examined for, if nothing else, your mother's peace-of-mind. If short of breath, be seen now.
