I'm a 16 year old boy who never smoked and is healthy. for the past 2 months, there's this small pain on my right rib cage that i feel every one in a while when i move, what could it be?

Costochondritis?: Could be an area of inflammation between the rib and your sternum. There's a joint there, but it doesn't move too much. But that joint can become inflamed causing pains.
