AI Study Notes for 后遗症
后果 (hòuguǒ) - use 后遗症 when emphasizing lasting effects after a condition, while 后果 refers more generally to consequences without the implication of lingering effects.
Be careful not to confuse 后遗症 with just '后' (hòu, after) or '遗症' (yí zhèng, residual symptoms) separately. The term is more formal and typically used in medical or serious contexts, so avoid using it in casual conversation. Common collocations include '疾病的后遗症' (sequelae of a disease) or '事故的后遗症' (aftermath of an accident).
