What causes a Pea sized hard lump on right side of neck?
Without physical exam it would be hard to tell what it is. However, the most likely cause of such lump would be an enlarged lymph node. Lymph nodes can be normally enlarged during the course of infection. In this cause it would be an infection somewhere in the head or neck region. It is best to keep an eye on the size of the lymph node as there are other conditions that can cause an enlarged lymph node, including but not limited to lymphoma (cancer of lymph nodes). A biopsy could confirm the diagnosis, but remember that the most common reason is a benign infection.

An enlarged right hilar lymph node refers to a swelling of the lymph nodes located near the right lung's hilum, which is the area where the bronchus, blood vessels, and nerves enter and exit the lung.

Can wisdom teeth cause enlarged lymph nodes or an enlarged spleen?
I had an enlarged spleen and enlarged lymph nodes and it turned out that I had Mono. I don't think your "spleen" has anything to do with your wisdom teeth coming in. But, in uncommon cases, infection to your wisdom teeth can sometimes cause enlarged lymph nodes, but only if the teeth are "impacted". A dental impaction is where an unearthed tooth is growing in crooked underneath the gumline. This also causes other dental problems such as crooked teeth. If the lymph nodes your are referring to are painless and are swelling with other symptoms, then you might have a serious condition, which also means you need to see a doctor immediately. The swelling in the lymph nodes in your neck are the ones to swell if your teeth are infected from an impaction. Also, only the lower teeth can cause lymph node swelling in your neck. The nodes will be tender, moveable, and causing pain in any way. Any kind of severe infection in your mouth, including a wisdom tooth infection, can cause your lymph nodes to become larger. The spleen should not be directly affected though.
Does psoriasis cause lymph nodes?
Psoriasis itself does not directly cause lymph node swelling, but it can lead to inflammation in the body, which may result in reactive lymphadenopathy (swelling of lymph nodes) as the immune system responds to the skin condition. Additionally, if there is a secondary infection associated with psoriasis lesions, it may also cause lymph nodes to become enlarged. If someone with psoriasis notices swollen lymph nodes, it's advisable to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation.
