副作用, 后遗症
an unexpected and mostly unpleasant effect of taking a drug, undergoing a medical treatment or procedure, etc.
An aftereffect refers to a delayed or secondary response that occurs after a treatment, procedure, or illness. It often appears as a lasting or long-term consequence that occurs after the initial effect has decreased. For example, after undergoing surgery, an individual might experience aftereffects such as lasting pain or changes in movement abilities that continues beyond the immediate recovery period.
