I did feel around and I touched what I think might have been an air bubble but it popped and he exhaled hard but that was just onceIt can be a little tricky getting a look inside the beak, but once you get the hang of it, it's not too bad.
Swaddle him gently in a towel to capture his wings, then once you have him calm, pull down on his wattles and open his beak, you should be able to see better that way.
You don't feel any air filled bubbles under his skin - you felt all over his body including under the wings and below the vent?
He may have a respiratory infection. You could try antibiotics to see if they help. Tylosin would be a good antibiotic to try.
