after-effects
What follows later
After-effects are consequences that linger after the main event has passed, especially unwanted ones: the after-effects of chemotherapy, still feeling the after-effects of the party.
The term emphasizes delayed or residual impact rather than immediate results.
Also spelled *aftereffects*.
