I have a weird feeling on my right side of my rib. i am not sure what it could be. an air bubble or a tumor. feeling behind the rib.

Unlikely serious: Given your young age, assuming no recent trauma, I doubt that this is anything serious; certainly not an air bubble or cancerous tumor. It is possible you developed some focal irritation of the intercostal muscles between the ribs. Depending on the location, you might have developed floating rib syndrome. Try rest and ibuprofen or naproxen. See a clinician if your symptoms persist or worsen.
