Hi,
The area which you have described in your question is where the gall bladder rests. If gall bladder has some issue like inflammation (swelling, pain etc.) or gall stones then you may feel discomfort, pain, fever etc. I would advise you to get an ultrasound abdomen done to rule out the condition which you are suspecting and get treated conservatively or by surgical intervention, if required.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
