Chinese term or phrase: 后遗症
Is there any other term than "after-effect" to translate this widely used concept?

Here is a sample sentence:

由于幼儿会的中英文语汇还很单薄，因此容易出现 "浅薄知识学习" 的后遗症。
liberation
sequela
Explanation:
I believe that's the term you're looking for.

No doubt you're right in the "clinical" sense, but somehow "sequela" sounds like "doctor-speak," while 后遗症 is now widely used in Taiwan and China in a much more colloquial way. Not to worry -- many thanks for the quick advice!
