AFAIK we have only one example of {nIH} "right (side) and {poS} "left
(side)":
{poSDaq nIHDaq je QamtaHvIS SuvwI'pu', chaH jojDaq yItnIS lopwI'}
"The initiate must pass through a gauntlet of warriors." (S9)
This suggests another possibility:
? nIHDaq mu'oy'moH teSwIj.
? nIHDaq 'oy'[choH] teSwIj.
... with {jIH} being understood since {teS} is marked with {-wIj}.
The first reads to me like, "My ear[s] are causing me pain on my right
[side]." While true in a sense, I don't think it would help a {Qel}.
One might imagine a conversation going like this:
Doc: Du'oy'moH'a' nuq?
Me: jIH teS/teSwIj.
Doc: nuq teS?
Me: nIHDaq.
