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.

Can lymph nodes swell from hard constant rubbing?
About two years ago, I discovered a pea-size lymph node right in front of my left shoulder. I was not sure what this was, so I kept messing with it and rubbing it. The next morning, it was enlarged. I then realized that it was indeed a lymph node and that I had irritated it. A few months went by, and the lymph node was the size of a lima bean. Being concerned, I visited my doctor. I explained to her what I had done. Just to be safe, she orderd a CT scan of my neck and a complete blood count. The blood work was fine and the CT scan was fine. The CT scan report read that I had a "benign" cervical lymph node in my neck that was enlarged. More than likely, I had aggravated it to the point that it will never return to its original pea-size shape. I still find myself checking it.
